Strawberries are easy and fun to grow. Plant strawberry runners or young plants in spring or autumn, and you’ll be rewarded with masses of delicious strawberries from late spring. Grow strawberries in a well prepared strawberry bed or planter, in full sun. And add some garden compost.
—How to grow strawberries from runners Plant bare-rooted strawberry runners in spring or late summer/autumn. Prepare the soil by digging in well-rotted garden compost and apply a dressing of sulphate of potash fertiliser.Bury their roots, about 30-45cm apart, then firm the soil around. Water well for the first few weeks. Strawberries are also suited to growing in pots and hanging baskets. Use deep pots at least 15cm wide and plant one strawberry per pot. They thrive in moist but well-drained conditions, so use a soil-based compost with a deep layer of gravel or broken crocks in the base.
—Look after strawberry plants To encourage flowering and fruit set, feed your strawberry plants with tomato fertiliser (follow the pack instructions) and water regularly. Avoid wetting any of ripening fruits to prevent grey mould. Tuck some straw around the plants just before the fruit starts to develop. This helps to keep the berries clean and deters slugs and snails. For next year’s crop, after fruiting finishes, cut off foliage about 5cm above ground level and give plants a good feed with a general-purpose fertiliser. After three to four years, fruit size and quality declines so you need to replace your plants with new stock.
—Harvest Once strawberries have been picked, the ripening process stops. So, wait until the berries are fully red before harvesting. Simply pinch through the stalks，avoid bruising the fruit.
—Store As strawberries are perishable, it’s best to eat them straight from the plant, avoid the sun. You can store unwashed fruit for a few days in the fridge. If you’re lucky enough to have a glut, whizz them into delicious smoothies or use to make jam，or freeze them.
-Solve problem Protect strawberry plants against slugs and snail attacks. Grey mould can be a problem in wet weather, causing the berries to rot. Water plants in the morning rather than in the evening to give them time to dry out.
——Great types to grow Summer-cropping strawberries: • ‘Elsanta’ – heavy cropper with large, tasty, red fruits • ‘Elvira’ – heavy crops and good disease resistance • ‘Hapil’ – large glossy fruits, even in dry conditions • ‘Honeoye’ – prolific fruiter with large, firm berries • ‘Pegasus’ – sweet, juicy, top-quality berries • ‘Symphony’ – good yields and fairly pest resistant Everbearing strawberries: • ‘Aromel’ – abundant dark red, juicy berries • ‘Christine’ – sweet fruits that ripen in late May • ‘Mara des Bois’ – large, deliciously aromatic fruits

After planting in spring and early summer, do you know fall garden can also be productive and fun? In a hot climate, you can put in a second crop of beans in mid-summer for fall harvest. But even some short-season crops, such as radishes, broccoli can be planted in late summer. They are strong enough to keep going right until a hard freeze. Some veggies, such as lettuce or Swiss chard, can be grown in pots and window boxes. You can also plant fall flowers such as pansies and chrysanthemums. Here’s what you need to know about how to plant a fall garden. -Find Right Time. First read seed packages to find out how long you need to grow them to maturity. Then find the average first frost date for your area. Figure out the latest possible time you can plant. Plant greens 30 days before average first frost date.
-Pull out scraggly summer crops. If your tomatoes are down to a few brown leaves and flowers without maturing fruit, pull them out. Summer squash probably is winding down, too. And, take out anything that’s been struggling from bugs or disease; it’s not going to get any better! Leave cool-season crops, such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, in place to finish maturing. -Stick with transplants or quick crops. Transplants crops that are too late to plant from seed, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. You can plant super-quick crops from seed include beets, turnips, and radishes, which are ready in as little as 25 days, and lettuce, in about a month. Others include spinach, Swiss chard, mustard greens, collards, and kale. Some kale varieties overwinter and green up again next spring, so don’t be too eager to yank your plants out at the end of the growing season.
-Keep watering and weeding. Autumn are still hot and dry, so make sure you’re giving the new plants plenty to drink. Greens prefer to be kept moist as they sprout. Pull weeds as soon as you see them because they compete for moisture and nutrients with the plants. -Plan for next year. Some crops, like garlic, must be planted now for harvest next spring and summer. You can harvest Hardneck before the bulbs are ready in mid-summer. Softneck types like warm climates. Either way, separate the cloves and plant pointy-side up about 6 inches apart and a few inches deep; they will be read next spring. Fall is also a great time to plant perennial herbs such as thyme, chives, sage, and oregano.
-Keep a journal. Save seed packages and labels and tape them in a notebook. List where you got them in case you want to buy more next year, and how they did, especially anything that wasn’t worth your time. Jot details such as first and last frost dates for the year. Learning from past will make next year’s harvest better！

1. Decide what type of garden to grow. What purpose do you want your garden to serve? Some gardens are functional and produce fruit and vegetables you can use to feed your family or give away to neighbors. Others are more ornamental in purpose, serving to beautify your property and provide a pleasing sight to people passing by. If you're not sure what type of garden you want, consider the following options: - Vegetable gardens can include peppers, tomatoes, cabbages and lettuces, potatoes, squash, carrots, and many other vegetables. If vegetables can grow in your climate, you can find a way to grow them in your yard. -In flower gardens, different types of flowers may be strategically planted so that something is in bloom almost all year long. Some flower gardens are structured with plantings in neat rows and patterns; others are wilder in appearance. Your personal style and yard size will determine what type of flower garden you might plant. -Herb gardens often complement both flower and vegetable gardens, since they tend to bloom beautifully while serving the functional purpose of adding flavor to your food. Herb gardens might include rosemary, thyme, dill, cilantro and a variety of other herbs you may want to use to make dried spices and teas. -In general, vegetable gardens require fertile soil and regular maintenance. Flowers and herbs can tolerate more neglect and poorer soil. 2. Decide what specific plants to include in your garden. Find out what grows well in your area by using this zone finder to determine what zone you are in. Then research which plants do well in your region. As you find out more about your options, make a list of the plants you want to buy and the best time of year to plant them. - Some plants don't grow well in certain zones. If you live in a place with mild winters and hot summers, you may have trouble growing plants that require a cold snap to grow properly. - Unless you plan to make your garden relatively large, try to choose varieties that need similar growing conditions. Do they need the same soil type and sun exposure? If not, you may have to create a garden with several types of growing conditions, which can be challenging in a small garden. - Visit a farmers market or plant sale in the spring. Often you can learn useful information from vendors and buy healthy plants that grow well in your area.
3. Choose a spot for your garden. Take a look around your yard to decide where you want the garden to be. The location you choose should help the garden serve its purpose while producing strong, healthy plants. - No matter what type of garden you're planting, most plants will grow better in rich, well-drained soil. Avoid spots in your yard where water seems to stand for awhile after a heavy rain, as this could indicate the soil there is too soggy or clay-based for healthy plant growth. - Most vegetables grow best with a lot of sunlight, so if you're planting a vegetable garden, choose a spot that isn't shaded by trees, fences or buildings. Flowers are more versatile, and if you'd like a flower plot next to your house, you can choose flowers that grow best in partial or full shade. - If your soil isn't especially fertile, you can make a raised bed or beds and grow flowers or vegetables there. Raised beds are planting beds that are built on top of the ground within wooden frames that are filled with enriched soil. - If you don't have a yard, you can still have a garden. Plant flowers, herbs and certain vegetables in large pots on your patio. You can move them around according to the amount of sun the plants need. 4. Make a garden design. Draw an outline of your garden or yard space. Map out different options where you want to plant various items in the location you chose. Tailor the design to fit the needs of your plants, making sure the ones that need shade will be planted in a shady spot and the ones that need full sun are in an area that isn't shaded during the day. - Take into account the space each mature plant will need. Make sure everything you want to plant will fit in your garden and have enough space to spread out while leaving you room to move around between rows or beds. - Take timing into account. Planting dates vary with climate zones. If you live in a region with mild winters and hot summers, for example, you'll be able to plant earlier in the year than you would if you lived in a region with cold winters and shorter summers. - If you're planting a vegetable garden, design it so that it's convenient for you to walk into the garden and harvest vegetables as they ripen. You may want to make a path through the garden for this purpose. - Flower gardens should be designed with aesthetics in mind. Choose colors that look pretty together, and make patterns that are pleasing to the eye. As you plan keep in mind when different varieties will begin to bloom. Take your lifestyle into account. Do you have children or pets who might run through the area? Is the garden within reach of your water hose? Is it too close to or too far from your home?
