I have a strawberry bed that has a lot of grass. I've been pulling it out all summer. Now there is an empty garden bed. Would this be a good time to transplant strawberry plants and get them away from the grasses?

I hope so I am moving mine and I am putting some in a pallet tower. I planted mine and covered the whole bed with the hay from my chicken coop and had little grass and huge strawberries!!
Hood luck

We just flew back from Fresno, Cal. ... the strawberry growers are in the process of discing the land, make hill rows, covering the whole field (small local fields range from 1- 20 acres some are 100+ acres) in plastic, then fumigate with methyl bromide, and then hand planting bare roots . Irrigation follows. :watering

It would be time for transplanting strawberries here, if I had any. Too danged hot in the summer, would all burn up in the heat.

Thank you all. I will put transplanting strawberry plants on my TO DO list for Friday. Today I worked on a Habitat for Humanity build and tomorrow is mostly doctor appointments. (Nothing wrong. I just put everything off and try to make all my appointments within a short time frame.)

I am trying to break Hilda's broodiness. One day I tried locking the coop door. Nope! She was the only one that managed to get in to her (empty) nesting box. The past two days I have put my veggie garden at risk by locking a couple of chickens (Hilda needs company) in the garden. Yesterday she flew out and back to the coop. Not today. She seemed much happier to be in the garden. Waiting now with crossed fingers. . . .
