You don't need to add more plants to a strawberry patch each year. They send out runners and add enough plants on their own. In fact they add sooooo many that you'll have plantlettes to give to friends and family! :)

Strawberries are my alltime favorite fruit. So delicious and so simple to grow.

@Praxxus55712 I completely agree, darn things grow like weeds......albeit very tasty weeds. :-) That hundred she planted will be hard to keep in check after a while.

Do strawberries need a lot of light? What about water?

I like your garden ;)

@chillsister I agree, I'm growing strawberries for the first time this year and they taste great.

Strawberries we get in the stores these days look pretty, but are tasteless, probably a GMO variety. Also they are one of the crops most laden with pesticides. They are a waste of money. Better to plant you own, even if you only get to eat a handful. Try a hanging basket in a sunny window.

the swedish name for strawberries can be translated to Eathling, or earth man...
