These strawberries are module plants grown on from last Autumn and flowering buds are already forming.

Select an area in your garden, that should be sunny and with good drainage. Remove all perennial weeds and we recommend that you plant through a ground cover mulch to reduce weeding in subsequent months.

Dig a hole and plant the module making sure that the crown ( the growing tip of the plant at the base of the leaves) is not buried. Water in to settle the plants.

Plants will form flowers in June and we recommend you feed with tomato fertiliser when the small berries start to appear. Harvest ripe berries from July onwards.

Removal of any runners will maximise fruiting.

In the autumn cut away any diseased or damaged foliage. In colder areas we recommend some protection over winter such as straw or a fleece. This will help the strawberries to fruit earlier next year.
