| MrsBinWY | On May 27, 2018 | Transplanted On 5-27-2018, planted 4 near the Mountain Ash stump. |
| MrsBinWY | On March 25, 2018 | Potted up 10. I must have sneezed when I was sowing these seeds because I spent the afternoon pricking strawberry seedlings out of random containers of other seeds (e.g., Digitalis, Salvia & peppers). There are more that aren't big enough to handle yet. The containers that were at warm room temp germinated stray strawberry seeds more quickly than did the containers at room temp. Potted 4 more strays on 3-31-18. 4 more strays on 4-7-18. Potted 3 non-strays on 4-8-18. Much later, I decided the strays were some sort of Potentilla that must have been in the potting mix. |
