Garden strawberries grow best in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter — consistent moisture is key to producing plump, sweet fruit. Feed with a balanced or phosphorus-rich fertilizer during the growing season and remove runners to focus the plant's energy on fruiting. Renew plantings every 2-3 years for best yields, as productivity declines with age.
