These are my first attempt at strawberries, growing in a long self-watering windowbox-style trough. They’re thinnings from someone else’s strawberry patch and while they seem to have recovered from the shock of transplanting, I doubt I’ll see any strawberries on them this year.

You’re very welcome to but I’m not sure how much help I’ll be- my strawberries aren’t the happiest-looking plants I’ve ever seen, and I sincerely doubt I’ll be seeing any flowers or berries off them this year. But then I guess we learn as much from mistakes as glorious successes, don’t we? I should get over not wanting to write about my failures and post some of the photos of these strawberries, gloomy though they are…
I’m halfway thinking I’ll cheat & go get some nursery-raised plants anyway, before it’s too late- I just baulk at paying $3 per plant when it takes 10 or more plants to get a harvest! That’s one big investment for plants that only live a few years.
