Strawberry planting in July

[chickens-n-vermont]

Hello everyone, I just created a raised garden to plant my strawbeeries in (kinda late, but just got around to it). I live in Vermont and wanted to plant next week (mid-July). Is it too late to plant strawberries? I am sure that they won't produce this year, but if I plant now, will They produce next year? Please share any knowledge you may have. Thanks!!

Hi there!

You could also sow an area with alpine strawberries -- they are so delicious to eat & very easy to grow from seed. Little tarts filled with them& a dollop of cream are the food of the gods!
