Give your Strawberries a Straw Coat

If your winters a similar or even colder than ours here in Vermont it is time to mulch your strawberries. The plants are very susceptible to cold injury and can die if you don't provide adequate protection. You won't have a hard time remembering what to mulch them with. Several inches of straw will dress them appropriately for harsher climates.

Comes spring, remove the mulch from the strawberry plants when about 25 percent of the plant are producing new growth. New growth will be white or yellow in color.


Happy Gardening,
