If you want fresh seasonal strawberries by the end of the year, now is the ideal time to be planting them. Strawberries need plenty of water and sun, at least 6-10 hours of full sun to produce tasty berries. A good time for you to tuck mulch of straw in and around the plant is from early summer before the fruit develops. It will keep the strawberries off the soil and at the same time slow the weed growth and loss of soil moisture.
Plants come in 9cm pots.
