Strawberry
We recently started our own garden. We planted a simple strawberry last year. She came out, of course, but she was very small. We weeded it and watered it. Maybe I got this variety? Recommend a proven variety that is larger and sweeter.

Are you caring for strawberries? It needs to be thinned out more often so that the bushes are not too close to each other, and weeding should also be done. Very tasty and popular varieties “Mashenka”, “Festival chamomile”, “Black Prince”.
I also recently started working with strawberries, thanks for your advice. I heard that strawberries mostly like shade and fertilizing.
Another very good variety is "Victoria". The berry is large, tasty, plump. Doesn't get limp. The main thing is to feed it on time, otherwise on our poor soils it will be small and sour.
The size of the berries does not always depend only on the variety. The soil also matters, as I have learned from personal experience. Once I planted this berry on seemingly fertile, but too wet soil, the tops grew almost knee-deep, and the berries were small and in very small quantities, although on loamy soil this same variety gave an excellent harvest of large berries.
I didn’t quite understand the word “climbed out”. How did you even plant it? Usually they buy or take shoots from friends and then replant them. I don’t know any other way to plant it, even if you kill me. I thin out the bushes every two years so that it does not grow in a continuous carpet and does not degenerate.
I didn’t put it that way. I wrote about berries.That they have grown, but are too small, although it was stated that they were juicy and large. I don't remember the variety anymore. Probably the care is not correct. This year we are already trying. We are waiting for the harvest.
And I’m excited to plant remontant strawberries at the dacha, who can say anything about them, whether it’s worth planting. It seems good to eat berries all season, but I doubt that they will be large and juicy after the first harvest.
The repair plant is definitely worth planting. It is advisable to take the one marked F1 - that is, a hybrid one. If possible, it is difficult to grow strawberries and seeds right away with seedlings, they are very capricious. True, there is one thing - although it bears fruit all summer (and some varieties right up to frost), strawberries will delight you with large fruits for the first 2-3 years, and then they will have to be renewed. And hybrids, unfortunately, are only renewed by seedlings; they do not grow mustaches.
Strawberries should not be planted in the shade, otherwise the roots may rot due to excess moisture, or even worse, a beetle may appear that will eat the horse system and your entire berry will die.
Of the sweet early ripening strawberry fruits, the Darenka variety should be noted. When fully ripe, they have a pronounced wild strawberry flavor.
I think that the Dutch Corona variety is suitable for northern latitudes. It is exceptionally sweet, and you can also include varieties such as “Moscow Delicacy” and Ostara. Their berries can be observed even in late autumn.
There is a wonderful variety of remontant strawberries called Gigantella. Very large aromatic berries. If there is an excess of moisture, then it will not become very sweet, but you can sprinkle it with sugar and that’s it.
I have never seen a variety that is both sweet and has large berries. Usually one thing or the berries are sweet, but small, or the berries are very large, but not sweet.
Strawberries also grow well in non-shaded areas of the garden. So that the berries are large and in large quantities. You need to plant varietal berries. In addition, strawberries love good watering and fertilizer.
I live in Crimea, our summers are hot and dry. I want to plant strawberries using vertical beds. It’s a painstaking task, so I want to know if it’s worth starting at all and what variety to choose for our area?
Strawberries need well-fertilized, light soil with good drainage so that the water does not stagnate. In Crimea, you can plant strawberries of the Honey variety. This is an early variety, its berries are large, up to 40-50 grams.
Good day, I have been growing strawberries for a long time, my favorite variety of strawberries is “Black Prince”, my secret is that all the seedlings will take up this correct, reverent attitude towards the seedlings, I use lamps to provide additional illumination to the seedlings
We always buy strawberry seedlings ready-made, in addition, we also plant strawberries in the garden bed, because they grow very quickly. Therefore, no lamps are required to illuminate the plants. Strawberries are accepted when planting, almost all of them.
I liked the taste of "Black Prince". And the harvest is good, and the berries are large and sweet. “Pineapple” is also quite good, aromatic, and there are a lot of berries on the bush. But in general, strawberries have different tastes, some people like “Goryanka”, but I can’t stand it.
But I like these strawberries, they are more natural and therefore more beneficial for the human body, although they are not as beautiful as all these bred varieties; I only buy these at the market. We haven’t planted ours yet, since we recently bought a dacha.
I like the variety "Elizabeth II", the berries are large and sweet. This is a remontant variety; we bear fruit 3 times, starting from the end of May. I also like “Black Prince”, the yield is good and the taste is good too.
Guard, all the strawberries are getting wet! We have had cyclones for a month and a half, it rains continuously, the bushes rot and disappear. What to do, how to save berries and plants? How will a survivor survive the winter after this?
Apparently, the soil in the area is heavy and clayey. Strawberries grow well in light soils with sand that provides good drainage. Therefore, you need to add a little sand to the soil.
