Hey y'all , I have a strawberry question . I bought one of those
packages of 10
(June-bearing) plants at wallyworld , planted them in a prepped
bed a week or so
ago according to the package instructions . How long should it take
before I start seeing new growth ?

It depends on the conditions, if it is too cold they won't do much.
If not in full sun they will be slower.


i'm not sure where Snag is, but the
strawberries here in USDA zone 5 are
starting to show some new growth.

we've not had much sunshine lately
and the temperature is rarely above
45F. so they will grow in cloudy,
cold, wet weather, but i will expect
the most growth the happen once it
gets a little warmer and some sunny
days happen.

I'm in Memphis Tn , and the weather can't seem to make up it's mind. We
set record highs one day and have 35° temps the next .
