Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 50cm (20in) Plant Thompson & Morgan Strawberry ‘Malling Centenary’ plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered, sunny position. Try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio. Alternatively grow well manured, free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm (18”) in rows spaced at 75cm (30”) apart. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively, when growing strawberry plants in baskets and containers, they will need feeding every two weeks. Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season and weed regularly between rows. From early summer, remove any runners that are produced as these will weaken the plants vigour. Protect the developing fruit from slugs and snails by spreading straw around each plant. Positioning a net over the plants will also prevent crop damage by birds. The netting and straw can be removed after cropping to allow better air flow around the crown of the plant. Mulch strawberry plants with well-rotted manure in spring.
