Strawberry advise

I have a very small shop in an indoor market and sell plants from local growers to keep prices down. My problem ia i have almost sold out of available plants, but i have a number of small strawbwrry plants that are coming on well and wonder if it would be an idea to sell now or over winter and wait until spring.

    The best time to plant them is in the autumn so that the roots can grow sturdily in the still-warm soil.
    Then they're ready for blast-off in the spring - but there's no reason not to plant them now either, though it would be best to remove any flowers that form so the plant can concentrate on growing roots ready for next year.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • Thanks Pete. Ive sold out of other plants, just waiting for pansies now, but to have a display i have some strawberries i think are ready to go.
