Mark,

    Your plants are a couple of weeks ahead of mine.  I mow mine immediately after the daughter plants have spread and the season's crop is in.

    I didn't always mow my plants.  I started mowing and fertilizing after I paid attention to what the Strawberry Growers Association said to do.  This works better than anything else I've tried and I've tried a lot of different methods for growing strawberries.

Jim,

I haven't tried mowing and fertilizing.  Here most of the strawberries are
done by the end of June (except I have a few everbearing mixed in).  Are you
saying I should mow and fertilize then?
