Hi,

Yesterday, I bought a bag of “bare root strawberries” from my local
Lowes. It contains 10 bare-root plants.

I am trying to find out what is the option for me;

Option 1: (a) Keep in shelf indoor for x days. then(b) Plant in a pot
indoor & keep for y days. then(c) Transplant to outside bed by last
frost date minus z days.
Option 2: (a) Today, plant in a pot indoor. then(b) Transplant to
outside bed by last frost date minus z days.
Option 3: (a) Today, keep in a shelf indoor. then(b) Transplant to
outside bed by last frost date minus z days.
Option 4: (a) Today directly plant outside bed.
Option 5: /OR/ any other better way to handle this

Here, I do not know what could be the x, y, z days as well. So, if
you can provide me that detail too it would be great.

I just don’t want to kill this plant. Please help me.

Thanks
Ganesh
