Morning all
wee question on strawberries.
last year, i did my strawbs in raised beds, i got a good harvest, but lost more due to the rain/mildew - despite my best efforts of mulching with straw and covering with a cloche.
So, this autumn, i dug them all up and stuck them into large pots which i left out over winter
come spring, i moved them into the plastic greenhouse, they did their thing and are looking good and healthy, however, the "crown" of the plants is now pretty big, almost the size of the pot.
So, should i repot into a bigger pot? or can i split the crown in 2/3 smaller crowns?
if i can split is, should i wait to autumn when plant goes dormant? (that would mean sticking them into a bigger pot for the summer)
this is just their second season, so i am expecitng a good crop this year and next year and then i'll think about replacing them altogether.
cheers
