Growing Strawberries in a cloche

Growing Strawberries under a clocheStrawberries grow very well in a cloche, a Victorian Bell Cloche is best suited to covering individual plants. Cover the plant in early spring just before the buds start to show. Do not forget to water and keep the fruit off the ground, but using this method you will get ripe strawberries 4 weeks or more earlier than those not covered.

Try covering some plants and not  others to extend your growing period.
