Topsy Turvy Yummy Strawberries

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

If you’re craving for strawberries but they’re out of season, you can grow strawberries for your own supply. All you need is an upside down strawberry planter.

You can order starter kits off the Internet. Do your research and read a strawberry planter review before you buy strawberry planter.

One of the advantages of growing your own strawberries is that you can keep them completely organic and pesticide and chemical free.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with the different types of strawberries so that you knowwhat you’re buying and growing. The Ever-bearing variety will produce two crops, in June and late summer. However, the fruits tend to be smaller.

For the first season, it is recommended that you pinch off all the flowers until midsummer. This way the strawberries will grow in two crops.

It is also a good idea to consult your local nursery or garden center to ask which variety grows best in which clime.

Alpine strawberries are small and yummy, but you need a lot of plants in order to be able to grow strawberries, so this might not be the best option for hanging planters.

Day-neutral strawberries will produce fruit for most of the summer, unless the weather gets extremely hot.

Planting hanging strawberries is perfect for those with small spaces. Just make sure that they get plenty of sun – at least six to eight hours. You may also want to turn your plants 180 degrees every so often in order to make sure that all the plants get enough sun.

If there are squirrels or other animals in your area, you may want to put chicken wire around your strawberry planters so that you can enjoy your strawberries instead of the furry critters.

Once you plant your own strawberries you’ll be able to enjoy them freshly picked.

Nobody wants that on food they will be eating, and now you won’t have to worry about it.

When you grow your strawberry plants upside down, it will help promote rapid and healthy growth of the plants, with no worries about weeding. When the plants are using less energy to fight the forces of gravity, they are using that reserve energy to grow larger, fuller plants. This means you’ll see larger, plumper strawberries, and even juicier than you’re used to.
The strawberries will become much juicier because of all the extra energy the plant is putting towards growing, instead of keeping its weight up to combat gravity. This creates a win-win situation for you, and for the plants. The strawberry plants will have an easier life-time and longer lifespan while you get to enjoy sweet juicy strawberries all year round.

The upside down strawberry planter should be used with lots of strawberry plants. No more sewing only one seed, with this planter you can put two seeds in every seed port, which creates a much better opportunity for the plants to grow, and take root inside the upside down strawberry bag.

All of this creates much fuller and bountiful strawberry plants.
