My strawberries were running rampant in the area I have them along side my garage so they needed to be thinned and moved. I spent sometime last week transplanting the. Now I hope the newly tyrtansplanted ones flower and bear fruit. Does anyone know if transplanted strawberries will produce that year?

I don't know anything about strawberries because I never really liked them. I'd grow some, though, if I had some seeds. Do they even sell strawberry seeds? I do use them in milkshakes and stuff, though.

I also have never seen seed packets. Just plants.

Don't think they sell strawberry seeds because it's very hard to get them to grow from seed. Instead, they just sell the bare root plants from parent plants. If you want to try growing from seed, just take a strawberry and rub some of the seeds off the outside of it. Those tiny spots on the strawberry are the actual seeds. Good luck!

I've never heard of anyone offering strawberry seeds.
They're normally offered as bare roots for replanting.

Hiya Grandpa Bob..Depends on how big the plant is and if it produced last year. Mine usually don't produce till the following spring but my strawberries aren't everbearing. I believe you mentioned once that yours are though so I'm thinking they may produce later on in the season. I have my strawberry plants in a place where they can run rampant all they want. They just get mowed over if they send runners into the yard is all.

Most we got from my wifes boss so I have no idea about the variety of them. But we did buy a couple everbearing last year and they produced very well. Thanks also for the info.

Hi Bob - this early in the year you have a good chance of them producing but honestly I think it depends on the variety. I know there are some that don't produce for a couple years. Can't for the life of me remember which do though.
Lost my garden in the move so starting from scratch :( thinking of doing a few strawberries in pots for now.

The only thing I know about strawberries are they are delicious. I love strawberries on cakes, on and in ice cream, by themselves, dipped in chocolate, in cakes. Oh I also found out something that is awesome, a malt or shake that is chocolate and strawberry together. yummmmmmy

Normally strawberry plants would bear fruit the first year but depending on the variety it is better to remove all flowers so that the plants become established and then produce much more the second year. You could try taking the flowers away from half the plants and see what results you get next year. Good luck.

I have read and been told to clip off the
flowers to produce a larger crop next year.

Some may bear fruit, but many don't. We had some that bore a few berries, but the Robins ate them! Blasted birds! We gave up on strawberries.

Mine did, Grandpa Bob, so you should be ok. You've moved them early enough for them to thrive. The best part of mine is, the birds planted them in my garden and they have multiplied so much over just a few years, that I too had to thin them out. The main plants are in a big pot but I've had to put some into the garden now. They seem to be doing very well but it's a little early to check on the flowers, which should be coming shortly.
Brightest Blessings.

I dont have any idea about strawberries,but I know I sure like to eat them only if they are red and sweet. The strawberries i buy in the store are not that great sometimes you get some good ones and there times you get than sour.

My mom gave me strawberry plants 2 years ago and the produced the year i moved them from her house to mine. They werent huge strawberries like i had last year but that could have just been the year and the weather not the fact that i had recently moved them.

Amazing ! your life must be joyful !
I don't have a yard, so the strawberries I eat must be bought from the market, which are tasteless.
I remember that many years ago, my mum planted strawberry in a flower pot, it only bore 3 small strawberries. They were really precious, you know, really tasty compared to those sold on market.
