Gardening with Daddy Pete: Growing Strawberries In Your Home Garden - Ep. 121 - February 26, 2026

Homegrown Strawberries taste better, smell better, and turn red all the way through. In this episode of Gardening with Daddy Pete, Melvin York walks you through how to grow Strawberries in your home garden, especially if you're dealing with red clay or sandy soil. You'll learn where to plant for best results (full sun matters), how to prep a raised mound or raised bed for good drainage, and why the strawberry crown needs to stay above wet soil. You'll also get practical notes on planting times, spring planting expectations, and how runners can help you build next year's bed. Along the way, Mel shares varieties that tend to do well in North Carolina, plus simple tips to avoid common problems like overwatering and weak-flavored fruit. If you want better berries for fresh eating, jams, preserves, smoothies, or strawberries and cream, this one's for you.
