How to grow awesome strawberries



 In my little garden I have a square meter raised bed which I filled with some of my favorite summer fruit; strawberries! Oh the joy of a fresh picked strawberry on a warm summer day. And strawberry jam. And strawberry tart. And strawberries for desert. Yes I love strawberries.

I bought some strawberries at the start of spring last year, and didn’t get any strawberries of them. I was so sad and blamed my poor gardening skills, until I learned that strawberries usually need a year to settle.

In my ‘oh why art thou not growing’ quest I found some more very useful tips. I am sharing my top 5 with you today.
