We tried it last summer. Planted 12 "everlasing" strawberry plants and let
them grow through the summer and winter. This spring we pulled about a cup
of berries off each week. Due to the wet summer we have not gotten as many
through July. Make sure you put plastic out around the plants to discourage
runners or you will end up with many plants and few berries.

Go to a "pick your own strawberry farm" at the end of the season and
ask when they are plowing it all under and ask if you can pick a few
of the leaders. Most places don't mind at all... might be too late in
the season now though.

| Hi,
|
| I'd like to have some strawberry plants in my vegetable garden next
year.
| I've read that some people plant them in the fall the first time
around to
| have fruiting plants the following summer. Has anyone here tried
that?
|
| Also where can one find strawberry plants (especially for fall
planting)?
| The online sellers I've found only sell in the spring.
|
| Any pointers on growing strawberries would be greatly appreciated.
|
| Thanks,
|
