A couple of weeks ago we saw that the strawberries had become too thick to produce future berries. So I dug them all up.
This is what came out of that small area. Then I pulled out the old trusty John Deere and cultivated the area.
I replanted and spaced the plants all the way down that side fence.
This is the amount of leftover plants, plus I have taken 60 to 70 to I guy at work. In addition, Joey and Sujin took 20 or so, one neighbor took some and I have 50 pots around the place with new plants. I couldn't believe how many new plants that they have produced. ( Then to remember that this all started from TWO plants that we received in May of 2008!!!)
That is a ton of strawberries. Just turn the backyard into a field then haave Jeff sale the flats on the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteJordan has got a good point!! Can't believe all that has happened in just over a year
