I think this is gonna work ! 10 of 14 plants appear to have new

The strawberries I have will take a hard frost, the other 4 may yet
shoot.

That's my experience with strawberries too. We get temps down to
-9degreesC and the strawb plants have never seemed to be frost
damaged.

I may be a bit gunshy , these are the first I've gotten to actually grow .

I'd be gun shy too in your situation. Once they start spreading all
over your garden, you won't worry aobut them quite so much :-))

Right now it's about 23° here and mine are covered . I had to improvise , I
put a foam plate upside down over each plant ant held it down with a small
rock .

Well it's best to be a bit concerned about freezing temps with newly
planted plants. I'd be interested to know why you've had to try so many
times to get strawbs to grow. Any ideas as to why its been so difficult?
