Fall Strawberry Planting Guide

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

When do I plant?

Far north growers typically plant starting the 1st of September, and our Texas and Florida growers should plant near the end of October.

How far apart do I space the plants?

We recommend 12-18ā€ apart. Typically, we plant three rows on a 30ā€ bed system.

Do I need any special equipment?

No. We recommend planting through ground cloth or mulching with weed-free straw to keep the berries clean and the weeds at bay. Other than that, grab a row cover here to protect your blossoms from the frost.

I have other questions. Can you help?
