Thanks for this tidbit. I keep trying to grow herbs and have little/no success, now maybe I know why.

Maybe I'll try again next year with these tips in mind.

It is worth trying this and I hope your herbs do well next year.

Thanks Joanne: I am not sure that I watch and do that!?

Thanks for a great tip. I have a couple of pots that I could use to plant some sweet potato vines. Do you think they will do well?

Jean, That would be a great display. Don't be too hasty in putting it out. Ipomoea needs warm temperatures. They will suffer with cool night temps

Side note on "Planting Up" the pot. Start with the bottom row of cups and add soil with each layer. Feed the plant through the holes from the inside of the pot. The cup holes are often too small to squeeze the root ball through the opening. I also add a little slow release fertilizer with each level. Take care to not have fertilizer in direct contact of roots

Oh cool looking foreward to trying this...I too have had no luck with strawberry pots. Gonna try begonias

I have some strawbery plants in a half barrel this year. Personally, I like it! Planted them in spring and they are still producing a few strawberries now.

I am glad for the information for I did not know the pot was called a strawberry pot.
Our neighbor in town had a pot like that and she had hens and chicks growing in it.
After I saw what she had, I've wanted some, also but never have purchased any to try growing them in the strawberry pot.
Have any of you had success with the hens and chicks in a strawberry pot?

Oma,

I have not tried Hens & Chicks in a strawberry pot, but I have seen some beautiful displays in other gardens. It is worth a try
