How can I grow great strawberries?
shojo asked:
I live in Zone 7, and this is my first time trying to grow strawberries. I’ve had a few so far, and they are tiny, about the size of a dime. They are fully formed, perfect little miniature strawberries. They’re pretty tart too. I’ve let them ripen on the plant. I tried Miracle Grow. Is there a certain ph the soil should be? Is there any way to grow good, larger strawberries? Is my zone just not a strawberry zone?

In the link below, the gardener says to pick off the flowers at first bloom to promote healthy roots instead of tiny fruit. The article may help in other ways, too! Good luck!
