Could you post care instructions for a strawberry basket? I purchased three and I want to keep them healthy.

during the warm growing season, make sure you water your strawberry hanging basket once a day. with your hose on slow trickle, fill the top of the basket with water, let it soak in. Repeat this three times. After the third time, you should see water dripping out of the bottom of the basket. Fertilize it three times per week. Use a water soluble fertilizer like miracle grow 10-30-20. Mix 1 tablespoon with 1 gallon of water. Use the fertilizer application as part of your watering days. When winter hits, trim all the foliage off and set in one of your flower beds and cover heavy with leaves. Make sure you water it before putting it to bed for the winter. In the spring, mid March, pull your basket out of your flower bed and clean it up and begin watering it. By mid May you should start seeing strawberries, then at the end of may, you should be picking.
