Pillage, you ever buy bare root strawberries?

Every year.

Although I usually plant them end of October/November. But yes, as long as you don’t let them dry out they’ll be fine in the refrigerator for a few days.

I say every year only because the last couple of years a haven’t been able to keep them alive during the extreme heat and drought spells we had over the summer months. Even with irrigation. Previously I had some plants that lasted for almost 3 years. I let them send out runners and spread, overwintered them, and they gave me bumper crops the next spring. I really hope I can replicate that this year. We’ll see if I can keep them alive over the summer.
