Bleah. The single dripline down the middle wasn't quite enough water for both rows, and the person who was supposed to be watching them while I was gone didn't watch them very closely, so half have died now :(

I am going to add two more driplines, and meantime I am hand-sprinkling in an attempt to revive the ones that have browned out, but I'm not sure whether they can be resurrected twice.

I suppose I might have to buy another set of plants and backfill the empty spots. :x

Why don't you let yours go to runner. I only had 10 plants that made it an now I have at least 100 with more runners coming.

:) save some cash!


Hope they survive

Because I'm horribly impatient! And a little bit OCD. I planted them in these perfectly spaced rows, and now there are empty spaces everywhere!!

I put the 3rd and 4th driplines in this morning. I'll give the browns a week to revive, and if they don't I'll pull and replant. I've got plenty of time before spring.

I know what you mean!! I ended up loving the chaos of last years garden! by the end of July my plants had taken over :D.

I had my first seascape strawberry the other day.... it was GREAT!!!

my Tri-star was not the best and the alpine I am not crazy about.
