This year I too plan to have another go. But I'm thinking of growing mine in polystyrene fruit boxes, I just have to find a good spot for them though. If only they weren't soooo delicious I wouldn't bother but they are so we just keep trying.Liz - Suburban Tomatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967077073783256161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-37108578637868530482012-02-21T16:45:48.708-05:002012-02-21T16:45:48.708-05:00Teresa which one is your blog.

We have wild blackberries on our property so we don't need to grow any, and they seem pretty hearty. Best of luck with your efforts this year!Teresa Robesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848939225552527941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-20937026483695495052012-02-21T15:57:24.930-05:002012-02-21T15:57:24.930-05:00Strawberries, greenhouses, pigs...

I am not sure about the ones on the hill. They should have done alright as the ones that had been planted in the tiers only got partial sun (the house shaded it some of the day) and they grew like crazy the first few years. Anyway, hopefully they will grow better this year with more sun and maybe I can remember to water them too, lol. Now if I can just keep the ants from eating the berries we might actually get some too.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-27231607359308622322012-02-21T12:46:38.971-05:002012-02-21T12:46:38.971-05:00I never knew there were pink flowering strawberrie...I never knew there were pink flowering strawberries. All my strawberries produce white flowers. I have about six strawberry plants and they all seem to be doing well in my hanging baskets. I only just harvested the first of my strawberries today. May be the reason your strawberries aren't performing well is lack of sunlight after all. My plants get more than six hours of sunlight. They hang on the south side of my porch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116948659300626522noreply@blogger.com
