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.


they are pretty cold tolerant
and hardy plants.

now is a good time to get the
weeds out and the soil prepared
before the active growing season
starts. you might even uproot
some of them, plug 'em back in the
dirt and water them when you're
done and most will survive.


Thanks for your advice!


you're welcome,
