Hello

Anyone has strawberry plants they do not need?  I would be grateful if you have some for me.

Regards

I had already plants sent to me. Plant swap does work.

I don't think you'll have much luck (in terms of yield) with bare rooted strawbs planted now & by the time you've paid for postage, you may as well go to a garden centre (with the added bonuses of choosing varieties & being virus free) - why don't you wait until the end of summer when there'll be plenty of people with runners up for grabs...

I got some strawberry plants from my local freecycle site a couple of years ago, but it was at the end of the season.

I know it is a long shot, but worth trying !!
