Plant & Growing Tips
Berries
- Plant strawberries in full sun in well-drained soil, suitable for containers or hanging baskets.
- Raspberries and other cane berries require sturdy trellises or stakes for support as they grow.
- Ensure consistent moisture, especially during fruiting, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Lemon
- Grow lemon trees in full sun in well-drained soil; they are excellent for containers in cooler climates so they can be moved indoors during frost.
- Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but allow the top inch or two to dry out between waterings.
- Provide a balanced citrus fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy fruit production.
Natural Pest Control
- Cover ripening berry bushes with fine netting to protect the fruit from birds and other wildlife.
- Hand-pick slugs and snails from strawberry plants, especially after rain, or set out shallow beer traps.
- Spray lemon trees with insecticidal soap or neem oil to control common pests like aphids and scale insects.
Harvest
Berries
- Pick strawberries when they are fully red and firm, easily detaching from the stem.
- Harvest raspberries and blueberries when they are fully colored and detach with a gentle pull; overripe berries become soft and mushy.
- Harvest blackberries when they are uniformly black and plump, feeling soft but not squishy.
Lemon
- Harvest lemons when they are fully yellow, firm, and feel heavy for their size, as they will have the most juice.
- Cut lemons from the tree with pruning shears, leaving a small piece of stem attached to prolong shelf life.
- Lemons can be left on the tree for several weeks after ripening, but check regularly to avoid them becoming dry.
Storing & Freezing
Freeze up to 2 weeks; soften before scooping.
