    What a novel idea. Well done. I've seen many hanging baskets with flowers and vines but never a fruit.

    Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post. I have been growing strawberry plants in hanging basket. I love strawberry plants and don't want anything wrong to happen. I always get confused on watering. But after reading your article I got clear view. Thanks again.

    Great lens! I used to pick them for money. It was not easy! It was a favorite part of May for me, fresh strawberries! Nice lens & Squid Angel blessed!

    I was staring at strawberry plants last week but didn't grab them. Maybe I will tomorrow when I'm out. Love this.

    I like strawberries a lot and I like the idea to grow them in hanging pots. This way they can be appropriate to grow them inside, which means you have fresh strawberries at your hand whenever you want them :))
    Thumbs up for your lens!

    This is really useful when you have a small compound, this method can really save up a lot of spaces. Thanks for sharing!

    I am so glad I found this lens. I have tried the special strawberry pots with not much luck and I was wondering if could use just a hanging basket. I am going to try this year.

    Great lens! Very well-done and thorough! I work at an orchard, and we have a few acres of strawberries, but if I ever need to, I may try your tips. Thanks!

    Strawberries are my favorite fruit!! Love the idea of using haning pots
  • MrsPotts Feb 27, 2012 @ 4:12 pm | delete
    Thank you for the tips, especially the high phosphorus fertilizer. This is something I didn't know when trying to grow container strawberries in the past. I think I'll give it another try!

    Having strawberries in hanging pots is a great idea. Blessings!

    I like your article. I have tried tomatoes without much success. I'll go to strawberries this year and see what happens.

    Hi I love strawberry,this will be the 4th year that I have grown strawberries in pot,work great for me.

    We have had our hanging strawberries out since spring. Now the weather is turning cool and frost and cold weather are cose. Do we bring them inside? Do we water and let them have light all winter or do we let them go dormant with no light?
  • prosperity66 Oct 29, 2011 @ 4:12 pm | delete
    If I were you, I'd place them whether inside the house or even the garage so that they don't get frozen because of winter temperatures. Now, last year it has been very cold and we've had lots of snow and I forgot the potted strawberry plants in the garden... I thought they would have died, but they survived :)

    But my suggestion is to get them inside in a not too warm room, water them like any other plant, and let them profit from the sunlight during the day and dark at night.

    i have some growing in a hanging pot now but its not growing to well:( has had six leaves for past two weeks:(
  • Sylvestermouse Aug 11, 2011 @ 10:41 am | delete
    Oh, wow! What a fabulous idea!!! I love strawberries and I have always hesitated to grow them in my current home because of my dogs. Now I see that I can still have my berries and my dogs :) Today, on our "back to school" bus tour, I am visiting the garden category and I am leaving you with angel blessings.

    I love strawberries. Also love the lens. Being able to combine my favourite fruit as a garden show piece is a nice touch.

    I had NO idea you could do this. Awesome lens.
  • tssfacts Apr 21, 2011 @ 9:24 am | delete
    Strawberries is one of my favorite berries. I have never thought about growing them in pots. I do grow so many other things in containers don't know why I hadn't thought about strawberries. Great idea.

    It sounds great, but I can't grow anything! :-(

    Great idea for strawberries in small spaces, even a balcony!

    This is a great idea! Blessing this lens!
  • sorana Mar 7, 2011 @ 5:11 am | delete
    I like this idea, I might actually try to grow strawberries in hanging pots. The videos are very useful.
  • sharpturn Mar 6, 2011 @ 6:10 am | delete
    WOW!
    These are beautiful. I do not have green fingers but I think I could definately have a crack at making one of these.
  • LisaAuch Mar 4, 2011 @ 2:54 am | delete
    last year after my daughter brining home 3 starwberry plants, we decided to try growing them in a pot!, the fruit was delighful (okay we dipped in chocolate) but for a child to watch the process and be involved in the growing of their own fruit was just wonderful, what a wonderful page, and I would encourage anyone (I do not have green fingers!) to try this at home.~ Blessed~
  • Tipi Feb 27, 2011 @ 11:56 am | delete
    Now this sure makes sense, no garden needed! It sounds like a wonderful luxury experience to be able to sit on your deck or balcony and pluck a strawberry at will. I would guess that your tip about watering in the morning has to do with the sun keeping some type of leaf fungus under control. I'll have to give this a try. My mouth began watering when I saw you wonderful hanging strawberries!
  • ajgodinho Feb 22, 2011 @ 3:03 pm | delete
    Wow, I learned so much from this unique lens. I've been so out of touch with gardening and great to see sites like this where it's explained so simply. I like the concept of container gardening...thanks for sharing this well done lens! :)
  • ZazzleEnchante Nov 30, 2010 @ 2:40 am | delete
    Fascinating read! Never thought this could be done, interesting lens, makes a great read. Blessed by a SquidAngel
  • JaguarJulie Jun 14, 2010 @ 9:42 am | delete
    We would need to try your hanging pots method as we have many feral cats, opossum, armadillo and raccoons which would make short order of our strawberry crop ... and quite possibly all the birds too -- but this is so worthy of trying. Thanks DOM for presenting it so lovely.
  • WeddingZazzle Apr 12, 2010 @ 8:07 pm | delete
    This is a great idea! Lots of helpful info here. I'm going to do this for a project next weekend. Nicely done lens. Angel blessings :)
  • prosperity66 Apr 13, 2010 @ 4:44 am | delete
    Woohooo! Thanks WeddingZazzle for the blessings! Hope you'll keep me update on how it works!
  • theraggededge Apr 12, 2010 @ 4:49 pm | delete
    This is great idea. I grew strawberries a couple of years ago and they actually escaped from their container (on the ground) and took over half the flower bed. Growing them 'up there' would curtail their rambling tendencies. Will try it this year as I have some unused baskets.

    And.. because I have wings... consider yourself blessed!
  • prosperity66 Apr 12, 2010 @ 5:11 pm | delete
    Mine did too, lol. It's the risk with container gardening, especially strawberries, lol. Thanks so very much for the blessing :)
  • MiaBellezza Mar 19, 2010 @ 5:08 pm | delete
    My husband loves strawberries, but I prefer raspberries; so it would be a toss up. I wonder if you can grow raspberries in hanging pots? I like the idea of container gardening.
  • prosperity66 Mar 20, 2010 @ 5:57 am | delete
    I also wonder if I could graw raspberries in pots because i hardly grow them in the garden and would like to have more but indoords :)
  • AddaptAbilities Mar 16, 2010 @ 1:48 am | delete
    Strawberries don't seem to like the fog, sadly, or I would be all over this.
  • prosperity66 Mar 16, 2010 @ 4:50 am | delete
    Oh, it's horrible! But it's also why you can grow them... indoors :)
  • LotusMalas Mar 12, 2010 @ 12:48 pm | delete
    Beautiful as always! But now I'm hungry again! I need to go visit your Strawberry Shortcake lens so I can make some!
