Source for Strawberry plants...
Does anyone know a good source for Strawberry plants? I need to re-do my patch with a different variety or two and would like to get them in soon.
I tried Gurney's but I didn't find out until later that they may not be shipped until the Spring. Yuck. I don't need them tomorrow but faster than Spring. Thanks in advance, Greg |

What`s wrong with your old patch Greg,can you not grow the younger plants from within that patch to start a new block??

The old plants didn't live up to the hype that was described in the catalog I got them from. The Berries were small and believe it or not, hard to pick. I'd have to 'pull' them hard from the plants, resulting in bruised or smushed Berries. I can't remember the name but they were a everbearing variety.
