truthfully the wild strawberry plants i put in eight days ago have looked rather dead...i thought perhaps we had failed...the supplier called the "tough little plants" in the insert in the box and it would seem they know whereof they speak...there is new growth out there...leaves continue to emerge from a plant on the south side of the house ( first photo ) and in the bed on the east end ( second )...the daughter plant in the pot in the same bed has three leaves now ( third ) and i will be cutting that stolon loose soon...there are hundreds of berries out there ( fourth through sixth are a sampling ) and the blooms ( seventh ) that continue to emerge are evidence that the season is not nearly over...waiting for the new growth on the new ( not dead ) plants to catch up...more as it evolves Jean.
