Good news. I think a couple flowers are starting to grow from my strawberry plant! Still too tiny to tell. Ill try to take a pic tomorrow if it gets bigger.

tommyg · 11-22-2011, 07:11 PM

Not sure if you can see, but i'm pretty sure those are flowers trying to grow.

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-22-2011, 07:18 PM

Tommy!

You'll be in business soon!

: )

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-24-2011, 06:13 PM

New fruits are developing...

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-27-2011, 05:27 PM

Brand new leaves growing.

Jananas Bananas · 11-27-2011, 05:32 PM

Jealous, jealous, jealous!!!!!

I think I may see some swelling of the Patio Temptation, but too soon to tell for sure or pictures. I am giving them another try. You know me, if at first I don't succeed .... I try, and try again!

Greg how are your variegated ones doing? Don't forget to save us some seeds!

tommyg · 11-28-2011, 11:50 AM

hi Sherry.
My strawberry plant is not looking good now.
I think I may have over watered it as the leafs are turning brown on the edges. So I think i may have.
Should I trim off the brown ones? The flowers are starting to open. I can post a pic tonight.

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-28-2011, 04:37 PM

Hi Tommy!

Ok show me a picture of your plant and I'll tell ya what to do...

: )

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-28-2011, 06:11 PM

Almost forgot. Picked up this little strawberry pot for like 2 bucks on clearance! It was 15 bucks at the beginning of the season...

I'm gonna paint it...

: )

tommyg · 11-28-2011, 06:24 PM

nice. honestly i'm too embarrassed to show a pic. basically all the leaf tips are a bronze brown and the leafs are a slightly darker green. I'm pretty positive I over watered it last weekend.
Should I just cut off the brown ends? The flowers are trying to open, but they look sad as well.

tommyg · 11-28-2011, 06:32 PM

ok so i trimmed the brown tips and cut one leaf out that looked in bad shape. Then on the other side I found another small flower trying to grow. I will make sure going forward not to over feed or over water. I hope it starts to recuperate soon.

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-28-2011, 07:07 PM

Don't worry about showing a shot.

Once leaves turn brown they will never be green again, so it's good to remove them and clean the plant of any dead branches or leaves.

Yeah, overwatering can be a killer so allow the soil to dry for awhile. Hopefully you have good drainage holes in the pot so the water can continue to drain.

Good luck. Tommy.

tommyg · 11-28-2011, 07:18 PM

That is good to know. Thanks. Ill take better care.

Jananas Bananas · 11-30-2011, 10:43 AM

OK I am trying again with an AeroGarden strawberry! I haven't had any luck with sprouting in seed starter medium nor damp paper towel, so I put these directly in an AG sponge. I take the humidity dome off a couple times a day and I did pull it up out of the basket some, so we shall see!

Fingers crossed!

The Hollyberry Lady · 11-30-2011, 11:37 AM

Good luck, Janan! I'm sure it will work out well for you. You can also some of my Alpine seeds when I send them off with the bulb on the weekend.

Here's a shot I took today...

: )

tommyg · 12-03-2011, 12:45 AM

hmmm my mystery plant growing in my small container looks a lot like your sprout there...

The Hollyberry Lady · 12-09-2011, 10:55 PM

Still healthy and growing like crazy. Took shot tonight.

Has anyone ever tried the giant strawberries before?

I saw this listing on eBay *NEW* GIANT STRAWBERRY *25 seeds*FRAGARIA ANANASSA L.*RARE*SWEETEST*HUGE #1105-A | eBay

I used to grow strawberries, but replaced the entire bed with blueberries as they are much easier to take care of and I always had a problem with strawberries getting eaten by slugs, pill bugs and other insects. They also grew kind of small, but blueberries worked better for me.
