Just because you have a small space does not mean you
cannot grow strawberries. Plant everbearing
strawberries in a container and enjoy fresh picked strawberries during the
summer months.
Normally I grow strawberries in the ground but this
year I planted everbearing strawberries in a container. I added 3 plants to a hanging container to
protect the plants from garden pests. (deer, raccoon, rabbits and armadillo
slugs and snails)
I like growing strawberries in a container because it
saves on space, plus I can easily move the container to a sunnier spot and plan
to move indoors during the winter months.
Containers have better drainage; the soil drains well
through the holes at the bottom of the container and roots are never
waterlogged.
When plants produce fruit, you will be able to harvest
the berries easily from the container making the container strawberry garden
perfect for patios and decks.
I have many container gardens on my patio and find that
these gardens add interest to my outdoor living space. The trailing plants like
strawberry and sweet potato are eye appealing.
Growing strawberries in a container is a great way to
enjoy freshly harvested fruit in a garden that has limited space.
