Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.
I have a Bush Early Girl (Bonnie Plants) growing in a small ceramic pot that is producing very well this year. I cut off the top in the hope that they would ripen earlier and they are. I'm not an expert, but next time I plan to go with a bigger container.
