Surecrop Strawberries

by Carol Bligh

In the past--I had a nice strawberry patch in the ground.
We have gotten a few years older and I have tried starting the Surecrop strawberries in a raised garden three times.

This year, they have green leaves in the middle of the old dead plants we planted last year. Should I leave them alone or remove the old dead leaves?


ANSWER:

It isn't necessary to remove the old dead leaves. At some point they will fall off by themselves. But if you want or need something to do, then you can pinch or clip them off to make your plants look nicer!
