strawberry plants

I transplanted ten more strawberry plants today, into another grow bag. That leaves a couple (from the original 25) that I'm abandoning. I didn't actually want 25 plants, but I found a good price on a flat of 25.

That wore me out some: even sitting on a plastic garden chair, moving the soil into the grow bag involved a lot of leaning forward. Tomorrow's plan is for a walk, and a phone chat with my mother in the afternoon.

Wow what a lot of work!

But isn't there a Buy Nothing group or craigslist or free cycle that you could list your plants on, rather than abandoning them? My sweetheart has gotten a variety of plants that way this year, even during the pandemic.

Yes, that is a lot of work. I look forward to reading about the fruits of these endeavors in 2021.
