Post by: mummybunny on February 14, 2009, 19:57:52
Hi all

I received my strawberries yesterday what do i do with them now? Opened the bag up and just looks like a tangled mess  :-\

Soak the roots overnight then plant where they are to grow.

Thankyou will go and pop them in water now. How many would you plant in a oak half barrel?

I planted 10 in a half barrel last year and they did quite well for their first year. Some do advise not to take any fruit in the first year, but I did, I couldn't wait  ;D
