For those of you who live in Central FL, Seminole Farm and Nursery does a once a year order in October. Call at the beginning of October to get on the list. I got 50 bare-root strawberry plants for $8.50. They sell them for 15 cents apiece. They will get whatever the strongest variety is that year. Last year it was Sweet Charlie, this year it was Camarosa. They are great robust plants - very big. Plants can stand a fair amount of frost without protection (I got to 23 - no damage). Mine are just starting to put out good berries. This tip is too late for people this year, but now you know for next year=) Other than that, I've only ever seen plants for $2 apiece here in local nurseries. So it is a great deal to know about!

Hey squirrelly girly! Go ahead and pot your plants up now and then just overwinter outside. I water them when they are dry, once every few days in the winter. Been dividing and overwintering for years. Then I've been replanting in my yard, but you can surely try and sell them. Quinalt are a big seller at Holy Comforter. Our prices have varied depending on how many plants we have...if we have bucketloads I'll run a special discount, and even greater savings if you buy a whole flat. You could go ahead and pot up groups of plants in a large pot - which is also helpful to you. You'll eventually need to take out the mother plants and plant her babies. I find this is easiest by taking out the babies, potting them, clearing out the entire bed of old berries and re-planting new ones. I find the babies tend to want to start on the outreaches of the bed, so it works well for me. Even better, when the babies start forming (I have very narrow beds so this works) I fill some window boxes with soil, and use begs made from wire hangers to pin the babies into the window boxes along side the strawberry beds. I've had some great harvests of both baby plants and berries!

I saw that! Going to get some today or tomorrow

I found out just this morning that there will be a couple of trays of strawberry plants at the Master Gardeners plant sale tomorrow. Hope to see you there.
