Sorry to respond to my own post. This was *intended* to pop up in
Jake's Strawberry thread. Oops! :~(



Don't worry, my eight legged friend, Jake is a forgiving Taffy.

My advice would be to transfer the plants to growbags.
They will benefit from the root spread.
Pots are not really the best root environment for fruiting plants.
A few doses of fertiliser and bobs your strawbs.
Early yet though (:-)

I've always grown mine in window boxws and they usually grow ok and crop
well. Having said that I had a few extra plants which I put in the
ground lastautumn and what a difference that made. They are now twice
the size of my window box ones and far more vigorous. Be interesting to
see how they crop.
