Everbear Strawberries

Hi JR , mild winter so far. Plants in garage 2 new leaves, rest are brown. Set outside last week, see what happens. The garden plants looks great, their growing through the white pine needle cover. I usually cover with straw. Pine needles was suggested, so far OK. We had 2" rain on top of already high creek in our bottom land. So far still in bank. We have picked under water before. The sandy soil drains quick, doesn't seem to hurt plants much. We planted 12 plants out of flood plain by house just to make sure we had surviving plants somewhere. Last, I gave 8 plants to a friend who has a sunny heated garage. When we get plants on our deck, I'll take pictures. 70 degrees last week, hard not to start planting, winter comes back next week. rockman
