Strawberries have been in the ground for just over 3 weeks now , still no
growth - these were dormant plants , packed in a bundle and buried in dry
powdered moss . So today I dug one up, and it looks just exactly like it did
when I planted it .
At least it hasn't rotted . I stuck that one in a small container of water
, I guess we'll see what happens with it sittin' on the kitchen windowsill .
If it starts doing something , I'll wait a bit longer before I plant
something else in that space . If after a week or two it hasn't done
anything I'll plant the rest of my seed taters or maybe some cantalopes or
something there.


To clarify the information on our last Earlyglow strawberries. They
were billed on 3/21/11 and would have been planted within a week,
allowing for shipping. They were dormant plants, some may have shown
a hint of green leaf but most didn't. The roots looked somewhat dry.
The plants are now about 3" high with nice sized leaves and an
occasional flower. These were purchased mail order from Miller
Nurseries.

We have also purchased several fruit trees from them.
