August
August is the month to start getting your earlier plants ready for next year.
It is a good time to fertilize strawberries, sometime before the end of the month. If plants were set this year, apply about one pound of general purpose organic fertilizer (or 10-10-10 if you prefer) per 25 row feet. Be sure to apply fertilizer on dry plants, evenly over the rows. Plants that are not first year, the application should be increased to one and a half pounds.
Just anticipating the beautiful luscious strawberries next June makes me anxious to get this done.
Have fun, its not so diffucult!
