Bare root strawberries
« on: January 15, 2012, 13:41 »
Hi guys I have had some bare root strawberries delivered this week. I left them in the shed and the roots got caught by frost, I have put them in pots but wondered if they are going to be any good because of this or am I wasting my time cheers

What did the roots look like, what do you mean 'caught by frost'?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I don't think that will hurt them, they're tough as old boots and mine sat through worse in the ground last winter.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I had some sitting outside, bunched on the surface while I reworked the strawberry plot, but forgot to plant a few. Come next spring, the silly things were leafing out despite our frigid Canadian winters.
