If roots being kept from drying out then main problem might be lack of light - put them near a window if you can, but not close enough for them to freeze.

And... I just checked the weather, looks like we're expecting a wintery mix again tomorrow and a return to freezing temps until next Thursday. Should I hold off on planting the strawberries until Thursday? I know strawberries can overwinter here without a problem, but I can't imagine it would be a very good start to bare root plants. Is there any special way I should be storing these?

The ones I got said to keep them in the fridge if you can't plant them right away. I did just that for about a week while I built my hydroponic system. They all had good roots but were brown leaves by the time I got them going.

So far 10 of the 48 are growing great. I haven't had time to look in the last few days to see if more have woken up.

Good luck.
