Interested in growing strawberries?



I am on the fence about this as an EASY crop in South Florida. Central yes, South only if Mother Nature is kind. Either way, we have to look at strawberries as an ANNUAL here in South Florida. The summer heat, nematodes, and disease just don't work as a perennial crop here. Alas, I've tried. If you want to try your luck, at least wait until the high temperatures drop to the 80s.

These are my best loved links about growing strawberries:
