How to Plant a Strawberry Pot (Strawberries Optional)

Strawberry pots or jars have always been my favorite containers. They just look so old world and they get better looking as they age. It took me a few tries to master my strawberry pot planting technique. First the soil drained out the planting holes, then the top plants grew and covered the lower plants and finally the bottom plants completely dried out. But I’m happy to report that I’ve mastered the technique and strawberry pots dot my landscape. And I’m happy to share what I’ve learned about planting strawberry pots with you, in this easy step-by-step.
