22 Sep 21, Joe (USA - Zone 10a climate): I have had excellent results growing SEASCAPE day-neutral strawberries in Zone 10a in containers. 100 plants produced over 100 pounds of medium to large sweet tasty berries. Enough for daily smoothies and strawberry desserts galore for 4 people constantly spring-autumn + freeze enough for daily smoothies all winter long. Schedule: Manure mixed in fall, plant in January, harvest May-November consistently, ½ strength 5-5-5 fish fertilizer weekly. Blended eggshells and water spread throughout the year + occasional Epsom salts make for plenty of firm, sweet rich red berries. Tried many other varieties in zone 10a - none came close to producing what SEASCAPE did. Grew a few Chandler too for one brief crop of GIANT JUNE strawberries. Good Luck!
