The lady at the garden centre said to keep picking the flowers off them until labour weekend or they get worn out before the season really kicks in. It might vary by region though - that was for manawatu. We are still picking them off anyway.]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2011 19:36:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40391&PID=1383943&title=strawberries#1383943 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40391&PID=1383911&title=strawberries#1383911 Author: Nothing

This is the time of the year to be planting them out. I would weed around them, make sure they have plenty of fertiliser and let them do their thing. A good mulch of straw is good to keep the fruit away from the ground and to retain moisture. Horse poo is great for a slow release fertiliser, just make sure you break it up really small.]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2011 18:25:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40391&PID=1383911&title=strawberries#1383911 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40391&PID=1383836&title=strawberries#1383836 Author: blessedmama

I've just had a bit of a weed in my strawberry patch and I see that some of them are producing flowers already. Should I be removing them or just letting them do their thing?]]> Sun, 04 Sep 2011 14:31:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40391&PID=1383836&title=strawberries#1383836
