every day and they did great

a common question that a lot of you have asked me which is how long do strawberry
plants produce and when should you discard it
well here's how you should plan it when you plant your strawberry for the first

so just wait make sure the plant grows for a year and in the years two and three
you will see the most optimal production so it's during these years that you need
to make sure that you take good care of your plant and reap a lot of the
harvest after year three you can discard those plants but each strawberry plant
also produces a lot of runners which are small plants around the mother plant
which you can then transplant into a new strawberry plant that way you will have
an endless supply of strawberry in your garden all strawberry plants have two
enemies that you need to protect them against the first one is birds
