How Do You Harvest & Store Strawberries?
“Hi, this is Yolanda Vanveen, and in this segment we’re going to talk about “How to Harvest and Store Strawberries”. Now strawberries have to be my ultimate favorite fruit in my garden, I love strawberries, and there’s nothing like having fresh strawberries in your garden and periodically going through and picking some out and enjoying them on a hot, summer day. So when do you know when it’s time to harvest your strawberries? How can you tell? Well, what I like to do is they kind of make a vine or they’re a little plant and they make off runners and they’ll have little flowers that turn into the little berries, and they’ll keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger. So you want to harvest them to the point where they’re not mushy yet, they’re still firm and they’ve got lots of red color to them, you don’t want to harvest them when they’re still white or green. A lot of times when you take them off of the plant they just stop growing at that point and they’ll never actually become mature
