Oh I wish I had some of those strawberries now, seems I missed the season altogether this year. Had a few baskets of them and kept thinking I would make jam tomorrow, well everytime I went to buy more they were either sold out or none came in. Darn, I love strawberries, they are my favorite fruit. Valerie

i'm starting some yellow strawberries from seed. I was thinking of doing a large pot for them on the deck this summer. Do they do well in pots (large, 28+" diameter)?

I see what Soyousee is talking about. At the end of the second sentence, the word plants is highlighted in green. And Just like the word Lowe's in his second post. When you scroll over the highlighted word, a window pops up with the lows ad. To be honest I'm not exactly that it is a website issue. I believe that it's something in the browser, and was most likely added to the browser without permission. But I cant say it was from this site for sure. I see the same thing all over the web. In fact, I would see those highlighted words and pop ups on my very own website, and I know I didn't create it. I called my web-host about it, and she was totally confused because she couldn't see what I was talking about on her computer because it wasn't in her browser. I have learned to just ignore them, but I believe you can get rid of them by clearing the cookies from your browser. However if it's this website that's adding it to your browser (and I wouldn't be surprised), every time you log in it will just get re-installed. It's probably in the fine print of the terms of use that nobody reads, as a condition of using the site. It's easy to tell the difference between a actual link and the pop-up adds, because the pop-up adds have the double lines underneath.

I divide my outdoor mint this time of year and pot on in the greenhouse. In no time new shoots will form and you will get some mint over winter and plants much more vigorous to put out next year. I keep them high in the greenhouse if it's unheated Incase there is any hard frosts. As for strawberries I over wintered them last year to see if there was any difference. they cropped earlier but with less fruit. I think this was due to the pollinators not getting to the plants.
