Strawberries for beginners are not an easy berry. But having mastered the secrets of its cultivation, even a beginner can have a good harvest. But you need to know that modern varieties are not designed for long-term cultivation, strawberries need to be constantly renewed. We plant young varieties with large beautiful berries, and literally after 3 years everything begins to come to naught. There is another subtlety, if you let the strawberries planted in the spring bear fruit in the first summer, then they will develop poorly and in the following years will not be able to give a strong harvest, so, alas, you will have to cut off all the flowers and tendrils on it all the first summer. So it is more profitable to plant strawberries in the fall. Then you can enjoy the berries already in the first summer. In the second year - during the collection of an excellent harvest, you need to mark the most fruitful and strong bushes with the most delicious berries with pegs. It turns out that even the same variety on different bushes has different berries to taste. After all, it is grown from seeds, and the parental properties of all the children are slightly different. The mother bush can produce quite a lot of good rosettes. This will be your planting material. After good rooting (somewhere in mid-August), the runners are ready and can be transplanted to a separate bed. But do not forget that for an intensive yield, strawberries must eat well, which means they need to be fed more often. To do this, use organic fertilizers once every 10-14 days. Strawberries will not grow on dry soil, but they will have nothing to gain good-sized berries from. At the same time, they also do not do well in damp areas. Diseases develop. There is only one way out - mulching with a thick layer of at least 5 cm. Mulch will retain moisture in the soil and protect against weeds. And without touching the ground, the berries will be healthy. All that remains is to decide on the varieties and you can get started.
