Hi I lives in Melbourne and planning to plant strawberries into big pots. Is May month is right time to plant them? I am planning to buy 20 small plants from the market.
You are temperate zone - plant May June July - learn to use the tools here - set you climate zone to temperate and then check when and how to grow plants.
I'm in Southern Qld and we plant about mid April. I planted mine a month earlier as I was going travelling for 3 weeks to mid April. The plants have done really well although the new plants are still sending out new shoots (runners). I cut them off. The weather here has just changed from summer to autumn in the last week H 30-33 down to 26-28 and .L 20-23 down to 15-17 at night. Read my post today about planting new runners each third year etc etc.
