One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

  2. Hi Mavis,
    When you grow strawberries in gutters, is it just to get them started early in the spring and then you transplant outside? Or do you grow them in gutters all season long? Do you just put the June bearing ones in gutters and everbearing outside? Do you do anything special to overwinter your strawberries outside or just take your chances? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
    Mine were looking pretty frosty this morning and I’m considering putting row cover over them. Much thanks and hope you enjoyed the quiet day.

    • Strawberries are cold hardy, for the most part, and will survive mildly freezing temperatures without much problems. But if you live in a climate with really chilly winters (into the low 20s), you’ll have to be able to bring them in or transplant them. Container strawberries are much more at risk of freezing to death outside than those in the ground. I’ll sometimes throw some mulch over my in-ground strawberries to help overwinter, but if you plant strawberries in containers, I’d move them indoors if you can.
