surprised

Just finishing my first year and am impressed. Even with snipping blooms they went right on producing berries. Birds love them so be careful. Big delicious berries. I can hardly wait for next year. Any one who has problems with these does not understand how to garden strawberries!

The end of the road
Reviewed By: Rosie (Colbert, Washington)
I bought 50 plants three years ago and the first two years were fantastic. Other than the bird sharing issue which was resolved with netting I yielded a great crop the first year. The second year I cleared the suckers and widened my rows and had an excellent harvest. This is the third year and the fun is over. If I have gathered five strawberries then I've been generous with my numbers. I am pulling all the greenery and will be planting new starters next spring. These plants are a good project for kids to do as results are seen quickly. Don't expect your suckers to bear fruit.

Fruit in months
Reviewed By: Kent (Lancaster, PA)
I got these this spring and planted them in a brand new raised bed. I laid down cardboard, soaked it. Then I layered it with compost and mulch. Planted the plants into this bed and we have already been able to sample some of the fruit (good but a little tart for my wife... but I like it tart). The plants mostly lived and Gurney's actually sent more than I paid for. The ones that did live are spreading like crazy. The size of the fruit is already larger than our mature berries but not nearly as big as promised. I expect next year will yield very large and large amounts of what Gurney's promises.
