Strawberries in the greenhouse or outdoors?

7 replies

Have never grown them before but I have some in large pots than I've so far kept in the greenhouse. They seem happy so far.

Should I keep them there all summer or move them outside when it's warmer?

I have room in the greenhouse if that's preferable or they can be on a sunny patio

Thank you

Mine live in the border all year round. They are dormant through winter and then start perking up when it gets warmer. I recently replanted mine in the same border and I have some flowers on them now

Mine are in pots outside all year round.
I just feed them occasionally during growing season and keep them well watered.

Thank you. Seems I may have been a little too soft on them, so will harden them off a bit and let them live on the patio

Strawberries are fairly hardy I think. I have some in a large grow bag with holes hanging from a branch of a tree and some more in wall baskets.

Strawberries are absolutely happy outdoors, no need for the greenhouse.

Another one here who has over-wintered them in (slightly sheltered) pots outside, and they’ve just started flowering in the past week or so. Hoping for a better crop than last year.

I grow them in both so I have fresh strawberries for a much longer season.
I move the greenhouse ones outside in the summer as it gets way too hot for them in there & I want the space for other things, then back in late Autumn.
The rest live in the garden all year round, die back for the winter then revive each Spring.
