yeah, and I see this morning someone else had the same question as me, though I didn't see it yesterday. Looks like their bundles have 25 plants, so I'll be ordering that up soon

At my last hpise I threw down the Alexandria and Yellow Wonder seeds and basically never touched them again. I have a question open over at Star Bros if the Ozark bare roots are packages of 25 plants or not. It seems that way, but I just want to be sure.

Oh awesome. These responses we're better than I had hoped.

Wouldn't it kill all the bacteria too? But maybe if you're just starting seeds in the soil you don't care.

Ummm... I've never heard of people baking their soil before. Is that a thing people actually do? Saw this on Facebook in a gardening group.

Guess I need to track down some seeds and throw those into my strawberry area as well.

Holy crap! Glad you're ok after a hurricane. Ummm.... Those chickens in that RV with you? Oh yeah, welcome aboard :)

Eh. I don't know. I found the Alexandria and Yellow Wonders both to be equally aggressive. I haven't grown oter varieties, so I can't compare.

HA! Just be careful where you put them as they're aggressive.

They have runners, which is actually what I love. Get a few plants going and the entire bed gets going in a year. Do these in a bed, a container or an area where you don't care if they take over. If you do them in a bed put some chunks of wood or brick down that you can step on, or else...

1) Yes, both of these varieties (Yellow Wonder & Alexandria (red variety)) went gangbusters in the first year and just kept producing after that 2) I don't know. Both the varieties seemed to germinate pretty well for me, but I also laid down a bunch of seeds and wasn't trying to germinate them...

So I was putting it off until next year to do any strawberries as I just didn't have the cash to do more raised beds. But as I was dumping the few scraped together buckets I could muster from the scraps of horse manure and compost, dirt & sand I had left from last year for topping my corn rows...

You talking for winter stratification or germination in the springtime? My whole point with my attempt of just sowing them to soil in the late fall was I didn't want even more trees to have to transplant in the late spring 😆 as I own a damn tree farm and already have enough of that to do.

Oh we put traps out, but mice are finicky and don't go after all traps or they get smart and figure out how to trigger a trap without getting caught, then they get all the peanut butter

They're popular in the paper industry for a reason

*shrug* might be different in MN vs elsewhere. I know when he used to farm part of my land he never contacted me and the only contact I ever got was from the Dept of Ag asking me to sign some agreement form in the spring saying "you agree to x farmer farming y land. Please sign and return"...

My neighbor bought 30 poplars :) however, we live in zone 4b and he didn't realize he needed to direct them when they should deliver, so they apparently delivered them yesterday. He was incredibly frantic and thought he was up **** creek. I told him to come on over :). Lucky for him he lives...

You've been here since Jan and you're dropping stories like this?!?! Applause to you :)

Agreed. Normally they're noisy as hell. I could probably go outside right now and record a frickin' opera going on.

yeah, they're basically afraid of everything.
