Hold up, how do you get one year old strawberry plants? Do you pull them out of the ground and replant or what?
What did you do in your garden today?

I was told it was opposite for birds. I went looking and you're correct.

I made friends with the owner of a local nursery, she ordered me some when she placed her order to plant in pots to sell
got them for $1.20/ a piece. More than what I paid from Farmer Seed but some had roots 6 inches or more long!!!CrealCritter

We will be planting strawberries tomorrow in a kiddie pool, while the final home for them is covered with weed cloth to kill off prairie grasses. We'll transplant them early spring. I guess this is one way to get year old strawberry plants

Old timers are smart people 
. Up the road there's a garden. What they did is take 55 gallon drum lids glued pieces of mirror to them and strung them up by a rope to the garden fence. The mirrors catch the light from a yard light and the dance in the wind. It's 120 acres away. But it looks like a discotheque over there.
We have a heavy population of wildlife, including deer. No shortage of deer around here that's for sure. These mirrors reflecting light from a yard light is one of the more smarter things I've see a gardener do to keep munching deer away. yard lights are on dust to dawn. I guess some people call them street lights.

. Remember she's in southern TX...where they see ground all winter. You traded that for snow all winter. 
. On a whim, I stopped at a local hardware/feed/plant nursery yesterday, where I haven't gone in a while....yeah, they sell it all!
. Wonderful young trees, too. But...they had some nice tomato, pepper, eggplants for $4.29 a six pack -- healthy and hardened off. Lots of other stuff like herbs, flowers, etc. But decent prices. They bring some things in, also start some types in their greenhouse. This is truly a small town, you name it & we probably have it, type store. Saw a lovely cherry tree for $60 that I'm wanting. . Even had fruit set! Already 6' tall. I'd leave in pot until fall. Looking hard at my planting area here and goat protection. So far I've got sets on my two apple trees. They're in the back side of a fenced chicken area, roughly 1/4 acre.....plenty of room! I'll pay for the maturity, don't want to wait 3-4 yrs for them to start producing. Tiny orchard.
My neighbor planted and forgot about carrots for about two years...they were the size of small spaghetti squash. Happy rabbits that night.
Yay! What variety?

after any near freezing weather the oxalic acid can move down into the stems too.
i was eating way too much rhubarb sauce at one time and it was making my feet hurt so i backed off quite a bit. i still grow it but only eat it a few times a year. it makes a good border planting
