Strawberries

While some people associate summer primarily with vacations and leisure time, others, namely garden owners, rather have the work in mind that needs to be done. Almost every day, new fruits and vegetables ripen on trees and shrubs or in beds that need to be processed - a job that lasts well into the fall. We have therefore compiled a series of useful utensils that can help you preserve your harvest and then literally go to the canning in the winter.

Since the size of the fruit and yield of strawberries decrease with each year, after three to four years at the latest, the crop should be completely renewed and a new strawberry bed should be planted in a different place in the garden. August is the ideal time for this.

When fertilizing strawberries, the rule of thumb is: one third before flowering, two thirds after harvest. So in August (at the end of the month) is the main annual fertilizing in the strawberry bed, so that the plants still grow vigorously until autumn and form new flower buds for the next year.
