First time growing strawberries
So I started some june bearing strawberries this year. Flavorfest variety. I’ve never grown strawberries before, and I’m curious if I’m supposed to cut them back the first year?
A few different places I’ve seen recommend cutting the foliage back after harvest to encourage bud development for the next year, but since I’ve been pinching the flowers naturally it won’t really produce anything.
My plan was to just leave them until the fall since I wanted em doing root stuff. Is there any point to cut them back at this point? Do I even need to bother cutting them back at all? Why didn’t I look into any of this before buying 42 plants? Who knows.
