I planted a garden of just strawberries, someone told me that they will not come up until subsequent year, is that true? they are not growing and I planted them the first week of may. I water them similar to 3 or 4 times a week .
Answers:    They will "come up" this year -- they just won't hold berries until next year. Lay rotten the water a bit. You did plant root stock, didn't you?
only just be pationt, if you did everything good, it should come this year. Myn did.
