All-red, then eat or fridge the same day — step 4 of 4 in Strawberries in a Pot. Twist off when fully colored. Leave the cap if you want them to keep a day.
Free gardening tip: All-red, then eat or fridge the same day (step 4 of 4 from "Strawberries in a Pot").
Twist off when fully colored. Leave the cap if you want them to keep a day. Runners: snip if you want fruit; pin a runner into a small pot of mix if you want a new plant.
You passed when you eat a berry you grew, even one, and the crown is still visible, not buried in a peat volcano. Next year, fresh mix, same pot.
Pro tip: One grey mold berry left in the cluster infects the neighbors. Pick it off.
