Hi,

Yesterday, I bought a bag of ³bare root strawberries² 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 don¹t want to kill this plant. Please help me.

Thanks
Ganesh

You seem to be concerned about too many variables. Nothing wrong with
killing plants on the learning curve. Still I see your question and
would suggest that you speak with folks in your area.

Charlie would be a source of good info.
