Strawberries 'N Compost
Strawberries 'N Compost Well, it is spring again. (Or is it) One week we had 82 degree weather, and the next week it was snowing! What a spring!!! Crazy weather! Is it any wonder I have not gotten most of my spring chores done? The one thing I really wanted to get done this year was to move my strawberry bed. I have The most wonderful Northwest strawberries - June bearing (really June through July). The berries are flavorful and sweat....Much better than Calfornia strawberries! They were an un-named variety that I bought at a Master Gardener plant sale several years ago. They have given me wonderful berries year after year. However, strawberries don't do well in one location for any length of time (3-5 years max), and it is time to do some "crop rotation". Mine have been declining for at least two years, and this spring the shoots look poorly. The weather has been so bad that it is now the end of April and the only thing I finally got done was empty my compost bin into the new bed and cover it back up with black plastic. The first weekend with good weather, I will begin digging the strawberries from where they are and plant them in the new bed. Hopefully, it will be this weekend which promises to be fairly good. Then, hopefully with envigerated growth, we can look forward to several more years of great strawberries before having to move them again! Yum!!! |
