Plant & Growing Tips
Strawberries
- Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.
- Water regularly, especially during fruit development, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Consider growing in containers or raised beds to manage runners and protect from pests.
Kiwi
- Provide a strong trellis or support structure for these vigorous climbing vines.
- Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained, slightly acidic soil.
- You typically need both a male and female plant for fruiting, unless growing a self-fertile variety.
Natural Pest Control
- Protect strawberries from birds with netting as fruits begin to ripen.
- Use slug and snail barriers like copper tape or crushed eggshells around strawberry plants.
- Inspect kiwi vines for scale insects and mealybugs, wiping them off with a damp cloth or horticultural oil.
Harvest
Strawberries
- Pick strawberries when they are fully red and firm, gently twisting the stem to detach the fruit.
Kiwi
- Harvest kiwis when they are firm but easily detached from the vine, then ripen them indoors at room temperature for a few days until soft.
