Then check soil to make sure it stays moist after that. You wouldn't want to lose them. If they are ever bearing plants then be sure to add a bloom booster at least once a week with watering to help them bear better. Here is a recipe for no sugar from Ball. It is for their jam maker but you could probably make it without the jam maker using those ingredients. It will be a small batch recipe but it should work. I have interchanged their recipes before, however I have not made this recipe before. I hope it works. Ball No Sugar Berry Jam Yes strawberries do fine potted.

Can I plant in large pots and and then replant?<br />I'm assuming the growth won't be as it should but I'm hoping to get them a little established for next year. Think this will work? There is only two of us as far as eating fresh, but I do want to make some jam or jellys. In fact I'm trying to see if there are any recipes for not adding sugar. I control my diabetes this way. You know of any? Thank you for sharing the info on caring the strawberries.<br />allthingzsewnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210000823417432398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-2938783961228093012016-05-13T19:17:16.097-04:002016-05-13T19:17:16.097-04:00Thank you Ginger Dawn!
