Summer time is planting time for strawberries
While the strawberry plants from the previous year are still being harvested diligently, in July the starting signal for the next planting will be given.

Frigo plants set in May - harvest in July
If you let all the planting dates go by and still want to harvest fresh strawberries in this year's season, you can turn to frigos. These are normal strawberry plants that have been cleared during the winter and stored in the cold store. Since Frigos deliver mature strawberries exactly eight weeks after planting, they are enjoying increasing popularity.
