1. When to plant
Strawberry seeds should be sown in early spring, and planted in soil which has been sprinkled with general fertiliser.
The best times to plant strawberry seeds are March and April, and September and October.
However, you can plant out young plants bought from garden centres into late spring and yield fruit with ease.
When picking your spot try and avoid a windy area, and make sure to avoid any areas prone to frost.
To plant out, the RHS advises preparing the soil by digging in around two buckets of well-rotted manure or garden compost and adding a general fertiliser.
Measure out planting holes 35cm (14in) apart, and space rows 75cm (30in) apart making sure the holes are big enough for the roots.
