I will take a look! More plants!! DH will love it, lol
Glad I could be of some assistance 😃 My wife got me with her list, I figured why not share a little. I think you picked a good strawberry with Ozark Beauty, hardy, ever bearing, self pollinating should be fuss free hopefully. Now, I just need to figure out the best approach for a long time/bed.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

I bought tractor diesel and tiller gas yesterday! Getting couple more cans full today!

Pulling out rakes, hoes, etc...getting together, sharpening. Shovels and containers, to clean coops. Warm weekend is encouraging! Hope to get my oil soap stuff out so I can spray plum tree. 🤷. A lot to prep! Heck, I'm tired listing it. 🤣

Anyone use rooting hormone when planting new raspberries, strawberries or similar.

not for those. often they root so easily anyways. are you working with cuttings? strawberry runners may take a bit more to start rooting but i just hold them down in contact with the ground and they take eventually.

I was going to try some raspberry cuttings this spring from the wild ones on our land and then yes with runners as my plants will be old enough to take from this year.

@CrealCritter I ended up ordering rhubarb (to add to my 3 plants), raspberries, plum tree, gooseberries, onions and peppers. :gig
