Author Garden: Advice Please...Starting a Strawberry Patch freytam Gardener Member # 4625 posted                       I'm in Zone 5....NE Pennsylvania. I'd like to start a small Strawberry patch. Do I want plants or seeds? I don't know anyone around me that has strawberries to ask. Any advice on what kind?? I'd just like some fresh Strawberry Shortcake. Thanks!!

Member # 772 posted                       Freytam, Try this one too... Need help with strawberries please I am not too into seeds, especially from strawberries, but I do know they are very easy to grow from a plant, say like a 6 pk you buy in the nurseries, and will multiply fast for you as well... Don't hesitate to ask more questions if you didn't find the info you're looking for.... Weezie * * * * Weezie Don't forget to be kind to strangers.

Member # 2222 posted                       Freytam, Nourse Farms is a good strawberry nursery. They have 26 different varieties of strawberries. They specify which are best for fresh eating, freezing, yield, season, and hardiness. They also discuss planting and culture. * * * * Terry May the force be with you Plants: 1370 | From: Copper Hill, Virginia | Registered: Apr 2004  |  Seeded: 4.249.183.142 freytam Gardener Member # 4625 posted                       Thanks Weezie and Terry!!
