Tell me how you are transplanting... do you wait till they die back and do it in the late part of the season? I've got 2 rows of everbearing about 150 long and they are busting out right now. But I want to expand my berries and I've often wondered how you do the transplant from the mother plant...

I just got some of my seeds for this years garden, I can hardly wait. The ground has had it's first till and I can't stand the wait. I just wondered who all besides me cages their cucumbers. I've had great success with this. It keeps the cukes off the ground and makes for easy picking. It also...
