Strawberry Planting
« on: September 25, 2010, 10:27:53 »
Bought some runners from T&M which I put in shallow trays because the raised bed wasn't ready for them.

They are not only surviving but now have healthy looking leaves.

The problem is that the bed still isn't ready..do I leave them and put them in some time in spring or will it be OK to put them in in a couple of weeks?

thanks
Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

It's fine to put in your strawberry plants in a few weeks, you'll get a better result if you plant then in autumn rather than spring, because the roots will have a good chance to develop more.
