Strawberry help
 
Hi guys

I am growing some Strawberries for the first time this year.
I have 6 in an Earthbox.
They are everbearing? I think.

I just planted them about a week ago, they are fairly small and one has put out two flowers.

I read somewhere that I should pinch these flowers until June, then let them fruit for better production. Is this correct, or should I just let them go?

Thanks
Brian

I've been told the same thing, letting them fruit too soon after planting keeps them from establishing a good root system and hurts you over the long haul.
