How Jockeys Earn Money. The average jockey may earn between $30 and $100 per race, depending on the track. A jockey may ride in several races in an afternoon. If he wins, he may receive around 10 percent of the ownerâs winnings, which is usually 60 percent of the purse, although the percentage may vary by locale.
The variety of the strawberry plant determines its lifespan, although a properly cared for plant can produce for up to three or four years. June-bearing varieties require annual rejuvenation to remain productive for more than one season.
Freezing temperatures will cause the water in the cells of the seeds to expand. This will stretch the cells so much that they will break, and the seeds will die. Never freeze your seeds! The next step in growing strawberries from seeds should begin about 8 to 10 weeks before the strawberry plants are needed. Select a tray that is about 3 inches (7.5 cm) deep, and place about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of potting soil in the bottom. Press the soil lightly, to give it a fairly smooth surface.
