hi so i bought some plants in aldi last year, got few juicy strawberries,
this year they have runners rooted all over the place, so much so that i cannot distinguish last years plants.
i even had some in the greenhouse which multiplied at an alarming rate.
i have eventuallly got over 50 planted in drills.
i have just read online that forced strawberries only last one go..
does this mean the ones i transplanted from the greenhouse wont bear big fruit.
??
i have a few plants that have lots of tiny strawberries on them, i am wondering if they will grow.
???
Grow some of the runners on in another bed to replace the first lot. Most plants only last one go if you force them, but if you have masses of runners, why not? The ones with tiny berries may not be strong enough this year for big ones. If they haven't been forced, grow them on for next year.
they have been moved. its more of a field than a bed. i have hundred plants.
Does forced mean in the greenhouse?
'Forced' usually implies that the plant has been grown in the dark, with heat.
