Strawberries

"Those planning to plant strawberries this year will be able to do so soon, but first of all, there are several rules that are important to follow. Sandra Stanislavičė from Vilnius grows different varieties of strawberries, so she has advice on how to properly prepare the soil and plant seedlings so that you can enjoy the harvest this year.

Strawberries should not be planted where old strawberries, potatoes, tomatoes, where the meadow was, because the same diseases and pests remained in the soil.

 Strawberries are planted every 30 centimeters apart.

There are varieties, such as Lambada, with few mustaches and small spells, so it is possible to plant such seedlings every 20 centimeters. There are varieties, such as Malwina, which are expanding, so they can be planted every 40 cm.

Plant only one seedling in the pit. Not two, not three. Yes, the seedling looks very funny at first, but the strawberry will grow into a stump in a few months. Multiple seedlings in one pit will certainly not yield more berries, on the contrary, will yield less than being planted away from each other.

Strawberries do not need any manure or yeast, otherwise there will be a lot of leaves instead of berries.

 Strawberry - cultivated wild strawberry: where did you see that anybody fertilized the lowlands in the wilderness?  Strawberries are planted from April, and frozen seedlings even until July. To the question whether they will not freeze, I answer: A strawberry perennial plant wintering in Lithuania, how can it freeze in spring? By the way, the frozen seedlings will give the first harvest this year, in June.”
