Strawberry plants
« on: July 26, 2008, 12:49 »
Hi All,
         I have some strawberry baby plants that i pegged down into pots
          and they have taken root so i have disconnected them from the
          mother plant i need to wait till next year to plant them out would it  
           be ok to keep them in my shed over winter? will they survive?
           any advice would be welcomed. I am stuck for space until  i get
           my new allotment soughted out.

I would not leave them in the shed due to light & watering problems.

The plants are quite hardy & will be quite happy on somewhere like a patio or driveway.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yes, DD's right. I did the same last year. Left the plants in pots on the patio, right through winter. They're giving me plenty of fruit this year  :D

Anywhere will do. As long as you remember watering them.
