What you should know about the strawberries:

Strawberries are so varied they only need sun, shelter, and fertility. Avoid areas prone to frost and soils that had previously grown potatoes, chrysanthemums, or tomatoes because they are all prone to the disease of verticillium wilt.

How to plant strawberries:

Prepare your ground by digging in two buckets of well-rotted manure or garden compost per square meter. Add a general-purpose fertilizer such as Grow More at 100g per square meter.

Measure out planting holes 35cm apart. Space rows 75cm apart. Dig out a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Trim the roots lightly to 10cm if necessary, then spread them out in the hole. Ensure that the base of the crown rests lightly on the surface before firming in gently. Planting at the correct depth is important. If the strawberry seed is planted not enough depth the plants will dry out and die. Water the plants in the well.

If planting in the autumn or early spring, remove the first flush of flowers of perpetual strawberries but remove flowers of summer strawberries only if the plants are weak.

If you’ve planted cold-stored runners in late spring to early summer, leave the flowers on. These will produce strawberries in 60 days, reverting to their natural cropping period the following year.

Strawberries are traditionally grown in rows directly into garden soil. In poor soils grow in raised beds, which improves drainage and increases rooting depth. Alternatively, try growing in containers or growing bags.

Covering the strawberry plant:

Protecting strawberry plants from winter’s cold temperatures is vital to ensure a crop of juicy berries next year.

When winter has arrived, strawberry plants have already set blossoms for next spring’s flowers. Temperatures below -9.5 can damage those new tiny blossoms and diminish your berry crop next year. This is why it’s vital to cover the strawberry plants and protect them from the cold air.

Another reason to protect plants is that when soil repeatedly freezes and melts, it tends to push plants up. This process is called heaving and puts plants at risk.

Preparing strawberry plants for the winter involves fertilizer over plants so they’re not exposed to the cold winter air. Strawberry pie & juice recipe & …

To winterize strawberry plants, heap a loose mulch over plants to a depth of 7.6 to 12.5 centimeters. Strawberry pie & juice recipe & …

 Is it strawberry fruit or vegetable?

One question we are always asking ourselves is what berries are.

Berries are fruits that originate from one flower with one ovary, which has lots of seeds. Surprisingly, strawberries and blueberries are not berries at all. Bananas, eggplants, tomatoes, and pomegranates are berries. And all berries are fruits. To conclude that is clear that strawberry is not a vegetable.

Summer-fruiting varieties:

have the largest fruit. They have a short but heavy cropping period over two or three weeks. There are early, mid-, and late fruiting cultivars cropping from early to mid-summer.

Perpetual strawberries:

sometimes called ever bearers – produce small flashes of fruits from early summer to early autumn. The crops are not so heavy as the summer-fruiting ones and the fruits are smaller, with the plants less likely to produce runners. Perpetual strawberries are useful for extending the season.

Strawberry Pie recipe:

Now we want to teach you how to cook a delicious homemade strawberry pie.

Ingredients:

Crust:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup frozen strawberries

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

14 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Ice cold water

1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon milk for egg wash

Sugar powder for sprinkling

Filling:

5-6 cups fresh strawberries

Zest and juice of a 1/2 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

½ cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

a pinch of salt

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions:

1. Prepare ½ cup ice-cold water and keep it in the fridge. In a food processor, pulse flour, dried strawberries, sugar, and salt. Add in half of the butter and pulse for 30 seconds. Add in the rest of the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
2. Pour about 6 tablespoons of cold water over the mixture and pulse until the dough comes together in a fist. If dry, add a little bit more water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the dough comes together.
3. Remove the dough from the processor and bring it together. Divide dough into two parts; one slightly bigger than the other and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for at least an hour or, it is better overnight.
4. Let stand at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling out.
5. Roll out a larger disk on a lightly floured surface to a large circle. Fit into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish, trim the edges leaving an inch or two overhangs. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with zest and lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Toss in sugars, cornstarch, salt, and ground ginger then make sure strawberries are well covered, and cornstarch disappears. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
7. Spoon the strawberries into the pie crust, making sure you pile it high in the center.
8. Roll out the second dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice top. If you have a pastry wheel, it is perfect for this.
9. Crimp the edges of the strips with a fork.
10. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl. Brush the top of the pie with egg wash and then sprinkle with sugar. Chill for 15-30 minutes.
11. Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
