To eat fresh strawberries in winter, you don’t have to go to the store: how to grow berries on a windowsill
Instead of filling your windowsills with pots of begonias or cacti, try using this "territory" as a site for growing strawberries.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the most important thing is to choose the right variety.
To get the desired result, take a closer look at strawberry varieties such as Queen Elizabeth, Geneva, Home Delicacy, etc.
Plants belonging to the listed varieties have the ability to bear fruit all year round.
In addition, this type of strawberry is ampelous, which means that when planted in a flowerpot, it will hang beautifully from it.
The presence of a drainage layer in the pots is also important, as is the soil - it can be universal, brought from the store, or it can be prepared independently, from equal parts of garden soil, sand and humus.
A couple more important points: the best place for strawberries is a window on the south side, but even in this case you can’t do without additional lighting.
Care for strawberries growing on a windowsill is the same as for those growing in open ground, and consists of watering and fertilizing.
