More About Organic Strawberries

Sammy Jane’s Mommy Ellen chose strawberries for their high antioxidant count and sweet flavor. Strawberries—because they produce a large amount of fruit in a relatively small area—are among the most productive (and most rewarding) of all berry fruits. You can plant strawberries in spring, summer, or fall. If you've never grown your own, now's the time to start.

Your strawberry patch needs to be in direct sunlight for at least six hours of sunlight every day. Give your fruit room too as strawberries grow best when they have space.

Prepare the strawberry bed by loosening the soil.

Enrich the soil with compost.

Add a layer of mulch to prevent weeds.

Dig a hole for each strawberry plant, setting the rows about 4 feet apart. The hole should be just deep enough to cover the roots and about 2 inches of the stem.

Water the patch and be sure to keep it well-watered at all times. Weed the garden regularly and keep critters, and Sammy Jane out with a small chain-link fence.
