We put our plants in a raised bed and they are doing well. We didn't have the heart to pinch off the blossoms which is what you're advised to do the first year. The plants were so big and healthy that neither my husband or I thought it necessary. We had many berries that ranged from small to large.
A P.S.: We have 2 Concord grape vines from Stark that are also doing very well. There are several clusters of grapes that I hope and pray will develop into what I need to make Concord Grape pie.

Bare root plants were healthy when they arrived and all survived and are now beautiful strong plants that are already putting out runners with new plants.

So...I ordered from Stark Bros because Rayner's wanted $25 to ship 25 strawberry plants. The 25 plants I got from Stark were beautiful with incredible root systems. I can't wait to pick berries next year.

Sparkle Strawberries
Plants were delivered as promised and all of them grew as promised. No fruit yet because we had to clip them until next year.
