What to do with your strawberry plants after the season is done?

They are perennials. They will overwinter OK even here in New England including the cold spell last winter. Some people put straw over them as frost protection but that usually just attracts firld mice.
What to do with your strawberry plants after the season is done?
i just leave them in the ground if they are in your garden. If they are in pots, you can bring them inside or store them somewhere. I dont know if the plants in pots will come back next year though. I know for sure the ones in a garden will come back next year and perhaps you will have more strawberry plants too.
Reply:trim them toss out the mother plant,wrap up the other strawberries place in a freezer
Reply:I have been growing strawberries for many years. After fruiting the plants will start to send out "runners" that develop into new strawberry plants. To keep my strawberries growing strong and healthy I side-dress with composted manure and keep the beds weeded. Once a year I also sprinkle a few handfuls of bone meal over the bed. My strawberry bed has produced well for the past 8 years, and even produced enough berries and plants to give away to friends.
Reply:Just let them be. They know what to do. :-) The plants that gave you berries this year will send out runners with a new little baby plant at the end, which will root itself into the soil a foot or so away from mom. This new baby plant will give you berries next season, so don't disturb it. Some people will remove the mother plant, which will no longer produce berries next year, but I don't bother...too much work. Maybe someday I will try it and see what happens.

    Enjoy :)
    Reply:Strawberries, milk, and a good blender.
    Reply:I think bananas and strawberries together in a blender is great and maybe an orange too.



    I dont like them with yoghurt a whole lot, I prefer to use banana as the "base" because it blends really well. It's soft enough. It goes a lovely pale pink with the strawberries added. Yum and that's super healthy.
    Reply:what i use it ice, milk or yogurt, and strawberries (frozen or fresh) for added protein I add a scoop of whey.
    Reply:Strawberries and plain frozen yogurt in a blender. Couldn't be easier.

    Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set rack at center level.



    In a food processor (you can use a pastry cutter or fingertips) combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and pulse to mix. Cut butter into about 8 pieces and add to the mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, but with few pea-size chunks of butter left in the mixture. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and make a well in the center. With a fork stir in the cream or milk, just until dough is moist. Be very careful not to overwork. The dough doesn't have to hold together well at this point. Let the dough stand for a minute. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Fold the dough over on itself (knead) 2 or 3 times, until it is holding together and is less sticky.



    Gently pat the dough into a 6 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick and cut into 8 (3-inch) biscuits with a floured round cutter. Transfer to a buttered foil-lined cookie sheet. Brush on a little milk or cream and sprinkle tops with some sugar, if desired. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until risen and golden brown. Remove to a platter and split each biscuit horizontally with a serrated knife. Butter the hot buscuits then top with about 1/3 cup of berry mixture. Replace the tops and top with a tablespoon or so of berries. Serve with whipped cream for topping.

    Serves 8.

    1/2 cup unsalted butter

    1 cup milk

    Top with the remaining cake layer and the rest of the strawberries.

    Serve garnished with whipped cream.
    Reply:Strawberry Shortcake:



    Due to its lower fat content, this shortcake can overcook and crumble quickly, so watch it carefully in the oven--don't allow it to brown.



    Strawberries:

    4 cups sliced strawberries

    1/4 cup sugar



    Shortcake:

    2 cups all-purpose flour

    1/4 cup sugar

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1/4 teaspoon baking soda

    6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces

    2/3 cup fat-free buttermilk

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Cooking spray

    1 large egg white, lightly beaten

    1 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar or granulated sugar



    Remaining ingredients:

    2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed

    Whipped topping (optional)

    Whole strawberry (optional)



    To prepare strawberries, combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar; cover and chill 1 hour.



    Preheat oven to 400°.



    To prepare shortcake, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through baking soda) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).



    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush top with egg white; sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.



    Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Carefully split shortcake in half horizontally using a serrated knife; cool layers separately on wire racks.



    Place bottom half of shortcake, cut side up, on a serving plate. Drain strawberries, reserving juice; drizzle juice over bottom half of shortcake. Spread 2 cups whipped topping over shortcake layer; arrange strawberries over whipped topping. Top with remaining shortcake layer, cut side down. Garnish with whipped topping and whole strawberry, if desired.



    Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)

    Very simple and fast with ingredients that I usually have at home already. A traditional strawberry shortbread recipe
    Reply:Strawberry shortcake



    Filling :

    4 cups sliced strawberries

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1 cup heavy whipping cream

    2 tablespoons sugar

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract



    Shortcake

    2 cups self-rising flour

    2 tablespoons sugar

    8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

    1 large egg

    2/3 cup cream or buttermilk



    1 8-inch pan, buttered, lined with parchment or wax paper







    1. To make filling, combine sliced berries and sugar and allow to macerate, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours before serving. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla, cover and refrigerate.



    2. For the shortcake, preheat oven to 450 degrees and set a rack in the middle level.



    3. Combine flour and sugar in bowl of a food processor outfitted with the metal blade and pulse several times to mix. Cut butter into 8 pieces and add. Pulse 12 to 15 times to reduce to fine crumbs. Whisk egg and cream together and add. Pulse several times to mix. At this point the dough will be very soft. Scrape dough into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until well colored and firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Invert from pan to a rack to cool.



    4. To assemble, split shortcake and place one round on a platter. Top with half the berries and half the cream. Place second layer of shortcake on top of cream and repeat with remaining berries and cream. Serve immediately.
    Reply:hahah i had some saturday!!!



    it was angel food cake, with whipped cream



    and strawberrys(which had water and sugar added to them)

    How do I make a strawberry lemonade chiller like they have at o'charleys?

    You have to keep lowering the temperature until it reaches just one degree below freezing point, since there's sugar involved it'll be lower than the water point, which is 0°C
