Hi Laura,

Don't remember exactly how many plants I bought,  I think I got two different
bunches from Park seed.  Planted them every 6 inches.  They fill the block,
run over the sides and produce a nice crop in June and we get to pick a few
in August and September.  I do get considerable die back in the winter.  I
haven't figured this one out yet. I mulched heavily with straw one year and
it killed a large number of plants.  I think I smothered them rather than
protected them.  Last year I lightly mulched with straw and have more plants
survive the winter.  Doesn't seem to matter, they grow and grow and fill the
block.  Can't wait for the strawberries!!!
