White Carolina Strawberry Bareroot Planting
Video In the video I plant up 10 of the White Carolina Strawberry Bareroots in a hanging basket. The White Pine pineberries are vigorous and will send forth numerous runners so this plant will be moved to the landscape or raised bed later this spring. The strawberry basket planting is being used because I am planting early in my greenhouse. Be sure to bookmark my website to get notification of the latest post featuring this edible fruit.

How the White Carolina Strawberry Got Its Name
The pineberry varieties you may find in the USA are the ‘White Pine’, ‘White Carolina’, ‘White D’, and ‘Natural Albino’ cultivars. The pineberry originates from The Netherlands from the breeder Hans de Jongh. These photos featuring the pineberry are from 2013 when the pineberry was fairly new to USA. My husband and I tour the private farm on the Biltmore Estate where the food is grows for the restaurants on the property.

How to Plant and Store Bare Root Strawberry Plants
In today’s post, I share a video featuring new bare root strawberry plants. I share how to store and plant these amazing fruit treats to grow in almost any home garden. You can grow bare root strawberries in the ground, containers and year-round dome. Planting and Storing Bare Root Strawberry Video I am super excited to be growing 2 well-known varieties of strawberries in my raised container in the dome. In the video featured here, I share how they are stored and how to plant. Be sure to reach out to me on my contact page if you have questions. I hope you could view this video. My videos are uploaded to my Bren Haas YouTube Channel so be sure to subscribe if you are on that network. This video is on my YouTube Channel Playlist.. In today’s video, I am sharing the new bare root strawberry plants I am growing in a container. I picked these packages up at Home Depot the other day while shopping for lumber. When you open the packet you will find a light soil that should keep the roots from drying out. Under all that soil you will find a rubber band holding the plants together. Carefully remove the rubber band and start to break apart the root clumps. Wiggle that plant around and work your fingers to get the loose soil off the root. It is easy to tell the top of the plant – all the roots will be connected to it. It may not show any signs of growth ( such as green leaves) at this time and that is just fine. Bare Root Strawberry Varieties to Consider In this video post, I feature 2 varieties I found while shopping locally. They are both have different harvest times but super sweet. The Sequoia variety I am growing is self-pollinating and will produce sweet fruit in the spring and maybe the fall. Quinault variety which is Everbearing strawberries produces 3 harvests in the spring, summer, and fall. Very disease resistant. Bare Root Strawberry Planting Tips Below are a few planting bare root strawberries I highlight in the video featured on this post. I used a loose planting soil. Strawberries do not like to be wet in compact soil so make sure the soil you pick drains well. I am using my favorite planting tool ( my finger) to make a hole in the soil big enough of the bare root to fit. This hole is about 3″ deep. Make sure the crown located at the top of the roots is lifted above the soil. Gently pat the soil around that plant and watch for new growth. The new growth will start showing in about a week or less in spring conditions. I’ve planted my strawberries about 2-3 ” apart. Once they get established and have produced a harvest I will most likely divide as they produce runners.

What’s Blooming This Week Garden Update – June 15
In this post, I share What’s Blooming This Week Garden Update – June 15. It is refreshing to take a break from the soil to journal about it. This post features just what was going on in my June garden. What’s Blooming This Week Garden Update – June 15 The rain is coming down here in the Northwest Ohio. I enjoy weeding, planting, and mulching in the light showers. I worry after pulling a muscle in my back at the beginning of June. So far it has not set me back as long as I take my time and actually enjoy the garden. Below I share some of the highlights from my June garden so far this year. Be sure to check out the photos and reach out to me with any questions. Dahlia in Containers Mixing Containers on the Door On account of the fact that I love growing dahlias I start new shorter varieties in containers as in the photo about. Find out more about my dahlias on my website. Greenhouse Gardens Blooming cabbage and pansies move over spring Back in the greenhouse gardens, the raised beds are growing amazing this June. The tomatoes are growing at least 3″ a day ( it seems) and they are starting to flower as I’m harvesting many different flavorful lettuces before the heat kicks in. Lettuce tends to get bitter with the heat. The rain is making it easy to transition in new plants for the heat of summer. The photo below shows how I mix it up today. Herbs Blooming with Annual Flowers I love to stick some of my favorite annuals in the raised beds borders for additional color and to attract the pollinators. Climbing Color In Little Rock at P.Allen Smiths in townhome grows a vine over the door of a shed. I have a new Virginia Creeper by Proven Winner growing on a back fence and just loved the color but hated the location. I transplanted it up next to the propane tank and rain a string up to some crazy grapevine I have around the door. I’m hoping it will climb the string and go around the door. See The Vine Next to the Propane Tank and Door This will be a fun plant to tame this summer into autumn. After growing this variety on the back fence I kind of understand it’s habits. This will be a show stopper in Autumn as it turns FIRE RED – its name is Red Wall Virginia Creeper by Proven Winners. Brilliant red fall color in this fast-growing vine. Hard to imagine I will have to keep an eye on this vine when it is established so it doesn’t take over. Berries Ripe in My Garden June Berries big garden Due to the fact that I love working in the gardens during the summer months I have my old in ground garden plants growing this month as well. Above is the last of the ripe JUNE berries for this year that are from my in ground patch near the barn. Roses In My Garden This weekends post is dedicated to roses on my site and maybe some BBQ since it is Fathers Day. The roses are doing wonderful in many of my beds so there is plenty to show off on a post. Here is a sneak peek and be sure to follow my site to see what’s blooming next! Let’s Connect I would love to hear about your garden and what is blooming. Be sure to take the time to comment on this post.

Many gardeners decide to NOT grow berries because of the critters that get into them. If you grow strawberries in containers the critters can’t reach you can have unlimited berries almost year-round. In this post, I share how to plant strawberries in a hanging container. How to Plant Strawberries in a Hanging Container Below is a step by step guild on how you can easily grow strawberries in your home garden. With a few products you can pick up locally you can have fresh fruit in a matter of weeks. This container was planted in mid-Spring and berries were harvest by early Summer. How to Plant Strawberries in Hanging Baskets on Youtube. Bren’s Tips on Growing Strawberries in Containers Be sure to have a container at least 12″ wide and 12″ deep Containers must have good drainage – the strawberry plants do not like to get their ‘feet wet’. Make sure the container is near spring blooming plants to welcome the bees. Protect the hanging containers from storms and extreme heat in late summer. Bring the container indoors before winter arrives and repot with fresh soil in spring for next year’s harvest. This is my second year of growing the Ozark Strawberries by Bonnie Plants in containers.
