Boost strawberry yields

-

Snip out the flowers of newly planted young strawberry plants to encourage a bumper crop next year. Doing this allows the plant’s energy to strengthen the clump ready to bear a much heavier crop in future years.

Keep the plants watered and add some liquid feed, particular­ly when they are in pots or baskets. Some plants are supplied ready to fruit straight away so keep those watered and allow them to flower.
