Planting the strawberries in peat pots is a real easy way to go. It makes it a lot easier
to handle a plant and it is easy on the plant as far as transplant shock goes. I am going
to plant these strawberries in groups of 4 and we are going to be able to let them hang
over the edge because I am planting them close to the edge as well as spread out into the
main part of the raised bed. I am kind of staggering them back and forth so that they
will be easier to water if we do get around to the system that we are going to use for
watering and it will give the root system time to grow that they don't get intertwined
with each other. We are going to plant on both sides of the irrigation line which is
that black pipe you are looking at. Like I said while a go if you notice I am planting
them close to the edge so that some of these strawberries tend to vine a little bit so
that some of these will be able to grow over the edge and fall over and produce fruit actually
outside of the bed which allows for being less crowded. Strawberries like a little shade.
I am planting them in a place where according to my calculations later on in the summer
we will be getting afternoon shade which is real important for any kind of shade loving
plant like roses and strawberries in particular.
