Author Message   Scotkat  My Garden Journal My Garden Posted on Friday, October 06, 2006 - 05:05 am EST :    Growing through the winter? They are in border in my greenhouse at the moment looking very healthy and got runners. Lost them last yr,I am trying once again. Do I keep watered and should I feed them. Really do not want to loose the plants.

I would be interested to know how yours do over winter. You probably already know that they do not produce much in the first year. I would like to give this a try too which means I should start this year, if I am going to have any next winter. That would be neat: strawberries during winter. I also have a couple of tomato plants in my greenhouse which are just starting to bear fruit and it would be nice if I find that I can grow them year round.

WINTER STRAWBERRY PRODUCTION IN GREENHOUSES USING SOILLESS SUBSTRATES: AN ALTERNATIVE TO METHYL BROMIDE SOIL FUMIGATION http://www.hos.ufl.edu/ProtectedAg/FSHS2003winterstrawberry.pdf Soilless may be the way to go, since it eliminates some of the problems in growing them in a greenhouse.
