2. • When winter hits it's easy to get the blues.
Why not try to add a little color to your life
by growing some strawberries indoors?
The process is easy and it'll help you
retain some of the sweet taste of
summertime.
3. • Visit a garden supply store and pick up a
fairly high quality potting soil, a large
plant container, plant fertilizer and
strawberry seeds. Red Alpine strawberries
grow best indoors, as they are ever bearing
with no runners which keeps your indoor
strawberry patch more contained and neat.
4. • Fill your container with potting soil three
quarters full. Water. Make many finger
holes in the dirt. Add a few seeds to each
hole. Cover with soil.
5. • Add plant fertilizer diluted to 1/2
strength.
6. • Set your container in a sunny, South-facing
window or an enclosed sun porch that
receives bright sunlight. Water it
plentifully. Fertilize every 10 days with the
mixture diluted to 1/2 strength.
7. • Plants bloom with white flowers and then
fruit in a few months, and will keep
producing flowers and fruit for 3 years.
The berries will be small, but very sweet.
