Strawberries, delightful and delicate fruits,  need consistent moisture for optimum growth.

However, their water needs vary with the  stage of growth and environmental conditions.

Initially, after planting, water them  daily to help establish the roots.

Once established, strawberries generally  require 1-2 inches of water per week,  

which equates to watering them 2-3 times  a week depending on soil type and climate.

In extremely hot or windy conditions,  they may require more frequent watering.

It's essential to water deeply,  ensuring moisture reaches the roots.

Use drip irrigation or a soaker hose to minimize  water on leaves and prevent fungal diseases.

Overwatering can lead to root rot,  while underwatering can result in small,  

dry fruit. Always check the soil's  moisture content by feeling it;

if the top inch is dry, it's  time to water. Proper watering  

promotes juicy strawberries and healthy plants.
