Climbing Strawberry plants

Hi! Everyone,

My name is Helen and I am very green when it comes to gardening, It is probably 25 years since I planted any seeds or bulbs.

For the last 12 months I have been wanting to have a go at growing my own Strawberries, so 9 x days ago I took the plunge and bought 6 x Climbing Strawberry Plants and planted them in a Moisture Control Compost in a container recommended
by the Garden Centre.:gnthb:

My problem is I need some advice on how to care for them now. They were about
5" high to begin with. Now should I add the 'Fruit and Flower' food now, as they have already grown 2" in just one week ? or is there a specific time to start this.
Any help would be greatly received.

 

Hi Helen and Welcome.

 

Hi helen the new compost you planted up in should have enough nutrients for a month or so personally i dont feed until i see the flowers hope that helps.

 

Hi Endeavour,

Thank-you so much for replying. You have been a big help.
I can relax now.:snz:

Many Thanks again
