Berry Plants and Vegetables for the Victory Garden 
STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberry Culture 
In the warmer sections of California strawberries are usually planted 
on raised beds similar to lettuce beds. Alternate plants on each side 
of the bed about 12 inches apart. Water immediately after planting. 
Irrigating during the winter depends entirely on weather conditions. 
During the summer months plants must be watered not less than every 
three days. Under no conditions should plants be cultivated during 
the summer months as the plants are very shallow rooted. Allow weeds 
to grow around the plant during the summer months to provide shade. 
In the fall months the plants may be cultivated and fertilized. Also 
fertilize during the bearing season. Strawberries may be planted from 
the fall months on through to late spring.
