Strawberry plants

My strawberry bed was not sorted last year and now it is overcrowded with hidden weeds. Would it be a good idea to move these plants to another raised bed which is empty and next door? They have lost their names now, but they are all good ones and will ripen at different times which is a plus really.

Just move the younger plants Cherry. Make sure the soil is rich and full of nutrients.

I have the best soil in UK scrumpy and not even a stone in sight. I also add home made compost when planting something new or moving anything.

daitheplant I will do that and look for the younger plants, also add in a bed of fairly new ones. They will all be together and tidy. There were some late gifts put in a large bucket which I got from an auction. I think this is what I wanted to hear, but you probably thought you would shut me up and keep the old girl going. I have a friend who sends plants when he is bored at his work and some did not even get planted last year as there was no room. He is a foreman at a wholesaler supplying the lists for the seed and young plants customers. I like the everbearing ones best.

I wish I could scrumpy. When I have lifted something out of my soil to post, the recipient often thinks the plants were growing in compost. Honest.

I think it takes a lot to kill a strawberry sweetpea. I found one growing in my flower border today, so I put it in the bed to where the strawberries are going. That is my first one planted anyway.

I know sweetpea, but my oldest ones are only just 3 yrs and my youngest ones just starting to fruit. It will be good to get them altogether in one bed as they are in different locations because a friend keeps sending them to me. I still have some Blueberries and a Pinkberry to plant and think I will put these in the side border which is starting to look very mixed. I am running out of space. Available space may sound daft when this is a farm, but I have to fend off deer, hares, rabbits and birds.
