Moving strawberry plants?
« on: January 25, 2011, 09:32 »
Hi all, i've got some strawberrys growing in a large planter, they were new last year, and sprouted plenty of runners, some of which have survived the winter so far, I'm slowly digging a new bigger,  more permanant bed for them and their runners (we love strawberrys so I want to grow as many as possable), do I dare move them? if so whens a good time to do it?
cheers.....

I did mine a couple of weeks ago and they looked OK on Sunday. But those are hard, Walthamstow strawberry plants.

Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

You can move them as long as the ground isn't frozen, they are tough little b*ggers and will be OK, Get some BFB round them when you move them, now is the time to feed them, not when they are growing.

My strawb plants are clustered together in a temporary holding area until I can work the ground. Soon as the soil thaws, the plants will be going back in and will crop this year. Soil was all prepared in the fall but we had groundfreeze too soon and caught me off guard.
