Default Strawberry plant weeding

Thanks! It looks like there's no easy way out of hand weeding. I think
I'll let it go for a few weeks though. A series of recent Pacific
storms has resulted in temps down around freezing at night. Maybe that
tall, dead grass surrounding the plants is helping to keep them warm
at night.
Thanks for your advice!


If I were doing it, I'd probably dig up all the strawberry plants, seperate them
from the weeds, add compost, then replant the younger strawberries (those with
shorter "trunks" from root to leaf stalk). Doing it as early in the season as
you can will help.
