Hi Lani,

I just let them die back naturally with the cold season. Then I clear away the runners and trim back the plants, take of the cover and replace with a new cover, carefully threading the plants through pre-cut holes.

This year I decided to start Tristar in a 4X4 square foot bed. I am now growing Mignonettes in an earthbox, and they are so big and lush that last winter I never even had the chance to change covers for them, so when they needed some fertilizing, my husband created a “fertilizer slurry” using about 2 cups of organic fertilizer in water and poured into the earthbox watering tube using a funnel. Not a good idea, it absolutely STINKS now when we water them! So we have to figure out something else. Suggestions are welcome!

I only hope to have something like this one day. Nice website too! Just wondering, how do you tend your strawberries throughout the winter etc…I have some planted in an earthbox and am wondering what to do when the growing season ends.
