You will then want to add in about 1/3 compost to mix in with your potting soil. This will create a well-draining, nutrient filled soil that your strawberries will love! We recommend to always check your soil's pH. Environment: If your area's daily temp is in the 80s or above you will want to start them in a place that is not in direct sun, such as indoors with a grow light or outdoors on a covered porch. If you are able to start them outdoors right away in the spring then you may place them in your gardening bed or pots, just make sure you mulch them so they may retain moisture when watered. Water: If you are starting them indoors or outside in shade, you may only need to water about twice a week. Once they are outside in full sun, then you will need to adjust your watering to accomadate the direct sun that will cause their soil to dry out at a faster rate. Transplanting Outdoors: Once the plant has grown a few new stems, you may transplant them outside. Usually this will be about two weeks after planting. For the first two days you will want to place them in a shaded area outdoors. These first two days will allow the plant to acclimate to the humidity and temperature of their environment first. And then each day after that you may begin to move them into a little sun and little more each day after that until they are in their permanent home. Be sure to mulch them before starting the transplanting process so their soil may retain the moisture when you water them.

Excellent plants! They arrived quickly and were loosely but carefully pack and arrived moist. I received 22 plants and all but one are thriving. They are almost ready to move outside. I'm so happy to have found this farm as it's difficult to find heirloom organic strawberry starts. We will have delicious strawberries for years to come!

Roots were delivered promptly in great condition with most already greening up. A few days later I have thriving plants. I won’t hesitate to purchase from this company again.They replaced ones I purchased in Walmart that were small, weak, and never responded that were packed in dark green bags that I couldn’t see before purchase. No more Walmart crap for me.

Received bare root plants per estimated delivery time. 19 started leafed out when they arrived and I planted in solo cups, per plant mix instructions. 1 bareroot plant had not leafed yet but it's only been a week or so. I'm hopeful.It's difficult to find non GMO, organic and veteran business in this field. Glad for the newly discovered farm.

Luckily I only needed 8-10 plants, because that’s how many of the bare roots actually survived.

I was nervous buying bare root because all my research said that a lot wouldn’t survive. They came in a box that was beat to heck by Amazon or whoever delivered it but inside they were wrapped in plastic wrap and at first look I thought “great they are dead”. I went ahead and planted them to see if they’d take. To my surprise 38/40 survivors and they are growing and looking very healthy! I did a fall planting to allow them to overwinter and get a jump on next season. Time will tell how they handle. Hopefully I can come back and do a follow up review. But at this point I am over the moon about the results. I ordered some other items from them as well and they are all looking awesome! So happy with the pricing too! About 40% savings overall.

UPDATE: ALL of the strawberry plants I recently purchased died. I would not recommend Hand Picked Nursery any longer. I’ve purchased numerous plants from them in the past. As another customer stated the seller made it out to be our fault for the failure and not the poor quality plants they sent. If I can’t find them locally then I won’t buy them at all if they are the only vendor.We’ve purchased 3 sets of these strawberry plants. The first two sets were great! I purchased them in the spring of 2023. We enjoyed them so much we wanted to add more to our current beds. So I purchased a third set in October 2023. We live in Texas so we’ve got a longer growing season than most and the plants have plenty of time to grow a good root system prior to our short winter. The first two sets thrived and produced a lot of berries. We also have two different varieties of strawberries besides these and they don’t compare to the sweetness of these berries. Unfortunately the third set I purchased this month did not do well at all. The roots arrived much shorter than the first two sets and from the beginning seemed to struggle and are still struggling. 10 plants died within two-three days and sadly more have since wilted, and appear to be dying, even though the mature plants around them are doing very well. They were planted just like the first two sets in the same bed. I contacted the seller and they are willing to send us more to replace the plants that died almost immediately after they began growing. They only asked us to pay for the shipping. But with so many dying, even further, after my initial contact with them we’ve decided not to purchase more roots at this time. We’re somewhat concerned that we’ll have a repeat and it’s not worth putting out another $30 for another failure.

These poor plants. They went thru soooooo many hardships & less than required conditions, but they didn’t give up. I gave up. My husband didn’t want them in the house & I didn’t have a grow lamp anyway ( could have gotten one tho). I didn’t find out til after I got them that I would need to grow them inside. They sat in our metal mailbox from 11am til 9:30 pm in 98-99 degree heat in a wide open spot w/ in FULL sun, the day they arrived. Then, I couldn’t pot them for 3 days because I didn’t receive my strawberry potting soil in time, so I added a littler water every day to their roots (carefully not getting the crowns wet) in their mail pkg. (they seemed to like it) & their poor saga went on & on. They rallied, they fought, they had good wins, then bad situations. They made it til 2 days ago when I finally planted them in the ground even tho they didn’t have 4 leafs & they promptly died. It was pitiful. So, my message is that they are strong & hardy roots & they are worth buying if you can give them the correct conditions they need to flourish. They had all bad odds against them, but they held in there for quite awhile (2 mths.?). They aren’t difficult to grow, I just couldn’t provide the simple conditions they needed. I highly recommend them. I might try again next yr., but I will be fully prepared first. My thanks to the growers & my apologies for not doing them justice!
