Strawberry plants
« on: April 10, 2020, 11:04 »
Hi I have a load of strawb plants that I potted up last autumn with the intention of planting up this spring. Well the early spring was rotten with waterlogged ground and they never went in, and as it happens the existing plants seem to be about to give a decent amount of straws. So the question is this. Should I nurture these plants over the summer and plant them in reworked beds in the autumn or wait and take runners again this year and put them straight into these reworked beds in the autumn?

Personally, if their beds have dried out I'd bung some of them into the bed with added fertiliser then plant the others into individual pots. 
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

If last year was their first year as plants, then I'd leave it another year before taking runners, to let them establish.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
