anybody???

You could just pot them up and leave them outside...or whatever, I tried the grow bags , well fruit is worse then store bought! I have never grown them inside so no help there, I have several in the 1 gl pots ...works for me! I have a strawberry that my father grew; no idea what the name is ...but the beauty of this plant is that when the seeds turn brown ; the berry is almost just as sweet as when they turn red , its a soft medium sized berry I don't have to fight the birds for ...How sweet is that!

I've grown them in pots and in the ground and I'm sure you can overwinter your berries in a greenhouse, but I wouldn't do it to have berries over the winter, just if you want to protect a more cold-sensitive varitey. Im not sure if they'd flower and set fruit indoors. Still, just to look of a strawberry plant is a nice reminder of summer!

thanks, think I'll put them outside and hope for the best.

Here is what i did. I've grown in pots and in the ground and last fall i left my pots in the garage (a little warmer) and in the past 2 weeks have brought them inside. They are NOW all leafed out and growing quickly in front of a south facing window. I won't know about flowers for a little while yet, but i hope to hand pollinate them!

Keeping them outside in my zone (-20F about every year) will kill them if not protected, i had this happen in the past. That is why i put them in my garage (attached).

I have strawberrys that are just turning ripe. The birds and squirrels have not found them yet but it won't be long till they do. Can you pick strawberrys when they just start to turn ripe and let them ripen inside as you can do with tomatoes?

Snappybob, sorry but once you pick a strawberry it is as ripe as it will ever get and if I only knew the name of the strawberry I got from my father, the one that tastes almost as sweet when the seeds start to turn brown as when it is fully red and ripe I would tell everybody... and yes it is a June bearing type
