Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Strawberries
When is the best time to cut back the vines, after berries are done producing?
Answer
Strawberries are aggressive plants anytime you feel they are getting out of control I recommend cutting them back. Herbaceous perennials like strawberries will rebound quickly from any pruning during the growing season.
