Moving strawberries
« on: October 18, 2017, 15:02 »
As the subject heading says really....

The last 2 years I've grown them in homemade troughs which are raised to aid the fruit to hang down the sides as it were. This was mainly due to lack of space but now I've too much space lol, I want to transplant them into the ground but when is the best time to do this?

Many thanks

Matt

I've been transplanting mine today. Seemed just right for the job. Mild and dry day with plants still growing

Anytime between now and beginning of March should be fine. Just don't plant them where you've recently grown potatoes, as disease can get passed from them to the strawberries.

Thank you! I didn't see this until after I'd come in from splitting up and potting on a load of strawberry plant runners, but nice to know that I haven't just rushed into doing something at entirely the wrong time of year. Hopefully some of the potted runners will take OK and can be planted out in the spring.
