High-Yield Strawberry Production --If you want lots of good-sized berries, pinch off all flowers/fruit the first flowering season of NEW plants. This puts all the energy into the root system and the plant will get huge. Also, clip the runners every week throughout the growing season so the energy goes into fruit production and not making more baby plants ("daughters"). Keep the soil acid, fertilize at the right time, use a straw mulch, and you will be come a strawberry-growing expert!
