Plant each strawberry plant 30cm apart as these plants will
get bigger.

Using your trowel dig a small hole. Release the plant from its pot and
plant directly into the hole.

Draw soil and push down around the plant, compacting it tightly
into the soil.

Now water your plant. Give it a good soak.

When the plants are established white flowers will appear.
These will then turn gradually into the strawberry.

The first fruits will appear green and with consistent water will
swell in size.

Caring for your strawberries after
planting
![Page 12: How to grow strawberries - Achieve Together · 2020-03-24 · How to grow strawberries . Preparing the ground . Before planting your strawberry plants make sure the ground is well](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042807/5f7f0613d15e1a55e869bb35/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The fruits will need to be covered while they are ripening.
This will stop any birds or rodents from eating the fruit.
After care
![Page 13: How to grow strawberries - Achieve Together · 2020-03-24 · How to grow strawberries . Preparing the ground . Before planting your strawberry plants make sure the ground is well](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042807/5f7f0613d15e1a55e869bb35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Strawberry fruits hang and can lay on the ground and
rot quickly. A layer of straw around each plant and
fruit will help stop this and also keep weeds
down around the plant.
