| Well if you planted them here I am not surprised, as we are not up to 70 degrees yet and have not seen the sun for more than an hour or two at a time. Just where are you? Al |

| I'm assuming you're in Minnesota. I live in Minneapolis and planted 50 bare root strawberries mid-April, half june-bearning and half ever-bearing with a few of each in a container. My june-bearing strawberries took 2-4 weeks to show much green. My everbearing began showing green in 1.5-2 weeks (those are Ogallala). Oddly enough, my container strawberries broke into life first and are WAY ahead of the in-ground strawberries. Have you kept their root zone wet but not too wet? We've seen some heat and a good deal of sun the last couple of weeks. What is your soil like? Strawberries like sandy-soil and I've noticed that they can spend a good deal of time working out their roots if the soil isn't properly tilled and loosened for them (worked up soil at least 2x their root zone). I had a few plants I thought were dead that decided to come to life about 5 weeks after planting. |
