I planted 4 strawberry plants 2 years ago. Second season found us with a 4x7' patch filled to capacity. It was productive with 7# produce too!
Yet, I find myself second-thinking my placement. DH tilled a 10x10 patch last year but we never got them moved. So what's a mama to do with unseasonably early spring? Kick some boys outside and start digging, of course! I moved about half the strawberries for now and I'll take care of the rest when I know if these take. I may lose production this year...hoping by moving them so early I won't! My ultimate goal is to fill the 4x7' box with salad greens instead. It's much closer to the house and adjacent to the herb garden.
As a back-up plan, I brought 16 strawberry plants in pots inside to hopefully get growth that way too! If I do it three ways, something's bound to stay alive, right? If not... I've learned it's not the end of the world to start over, either ~ another life lesson.
