Title: Moving Strawberries
Post by: Gordonmull on April 17, 2012, 21:29:18

Hi folks

We bought some planters that straddle a fence in Jan or Feb and I put 4 strawberry plants in each of them without realizing OH had the planters earmarked for flowers. Oops.

Said strawbs are now starting to throw out flower buds. Is it to late to put them in another pot?

i moved all mine this weekend gone, got loads of soil round the roots so they shouldn't notice they have been moved, if you can do the same you should be OK

They are tough as old boots so just move them with as much soil as you can..

Thanks folks. I'll move them into new pots and OH can have her pretty flowers hanging on the fence in the old pots.
