How much should I be watering my strawberries?

Question
How much should I be watering my strawberries?

Answer

Strawberries desire a lot of moisture. Depending on recent rainfalls, make sure they receive at least an inch of water per week, more if it’s exceptionally dry or warm. They need a lot of water when the runners and flowers are developing and again in the fall when the plants are mature.
