If you're growing strawberries, you will want to know that Carbotein (www.Carbotein.com) is among the favorite foods for strawberries.  Carbotein is a collection of organic vegetable extracts that lead to powerful positive effects on plant growth. Of course it's a matter of taste, but many people think wild and organic strawberries are the sweetest. Carbotein is a preferred plant food among organic, veganic, and hydroponic growers for increasing growth yields of turf, crops, flowers, and fruits, including, of course, strawberries. Farmers and gardeners find that growing strawberries with Carbotein can yield even sweeter, faster, and larger crops, with boosts from nature. (Interested in organic gardening?

Plants treated with Carbotein include turf grass, ornamental shrubs, trees, and agricultural crops, such as flowers, spinach, mushrooms, carrots, radishes, beans, wheat, corn, tomatoes, cotton, rice, barley, fruit trees and others. Carbotein is applied to soil and can be easily combined with other soil nutrient programs.

More about strawberries and National Strawberry Day:

  • Strawberries aren't actual berries because the seeds are on the outside of the fruit.
  • Each strawberry contains about 200 seeds.
  • Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries aren't berries, but bananas are berries.
  • Each American eats an average of 3.5 pounds of strawberries each year.

Tips for growers:

  • Only pick strawberries when ripe. They do not ripen off the plant like some other fruits.
  • Strawberries bruise easily, so don't overpack your basket.
  • It's best to pick strawberries on cool, cloudy days, especially if they're not eaten right away.
Happy National Strawberry Day!
