So me ( MIng ) and my partner ( Mango ) are planting some strawberries in class and we have to make a blog post to help others for planting strawberries (or other plants) and or to get started and watering. So here are some tips that we came up with and we hope this will help you! Hope you like it, and have fun planting :)
-Water - Mango :
- start to water the strawberries regularly once flowering starts
- During the fruiting season they'll need around an inch of water each week.
- Water the strawberries once planted in the ground
- An inch of water should be given to the growing strawberry plants regularly and up to two inches of water should be given during the fruiting season.
next sunlight.
-Sunlight - Ming :
- Likes a lot of sunlight
- Full sunlight
next dates & timeline.
-Dates & Timeline - Ming :
- plant after the may long weekend on the 21st (which is on a monday)
- not from seed
next how to start your plants.
-How To Start Plants - Ming :
- Practice crop rotation for the most success.
Do not plant in a site that recently had strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, or eggplant that has been there more than 3 years
- Water the strawberries once in the the ground (planted)
- The main thing to watch when planting strawberries is the crown of the plant
- The crown should only be buried halfway into the ground, roughly even with the soil line. If you bury too much of it, the plant will rot. If you don’t bury enough of it, the roots may be exposed to the elements and the plant will die.
next soil & nutrients.
-Soil & Nutrients - Mango :
- pH should be between 5.5 and 7.
- The strawberries should be free draining soil
next the containers.
-Container - Mango :
- you can use really any kinds of conditions, and have to keep away from the ground soil, and from pests, also will less likely to rot in damp conditions than if grown in the ground

- Planting sites must be well-drained, raised beds is a good option for strawberries.
- You can grow them in pots, containers, or hanging baskets as well
-(Optional) Pests - Ming :
- Spider Mites
-(Optional) Diseases - Mango :
- Strawberries tend to get a disease called “Powdery Mildew” The infected plants looks like a layer of flour has been blown onto it, the infection will normally look like a circle of flour-y spots. Normally the disease will cover the top part of the plant, the older plants are more likely to be affected by powdery mildew, first the leaves turn into a yellowy colour and dry out. The infected plant will become distorted, this only appears in the late stages of growing.
- Grey Mold
