Re: Strawberries
And here I sent the last one without even a reply to the actual method :)
Under my last assumptions, you would uncover after the last hard freeze
which in 7a has already happened. Mine have flowers and should set fruit
soon (these are the Junebearers). I usually also cut off any dead leaves
and make sure that the crown is above ground, or else it will rot. Also I
cut the runners connecting any plants from last year. After the runner
roots, the runner itself dies off and can be cut from between the plants.
Again, Good Luck,
