I ordered bare root strawberries from Stark Brothers this summer and they too ended up accidentally set in with our empty boxes. They were in their package for over 2 weeks before I found them again. They were a ghastly shade of white and fairly dried our. I soaked them for a couple of hours in a tub of water and then planted them anyway, because like you said, why not? Most of them grew just fine and produced a decent amount of berries for the first year. Good luck. I think they'll be fine.

Being allergic, I'll never be planting strawberries. That being said, I can certainly appreciate the optimism and the philosophy behind "Give life a chance". I love my Greenstalks so much, I've decided to gift some to a local assisted care facility this next Spring. I think I'll do one pre-planted and another one or two filled with soil and ready to plant. Probably include some seeds (although I remember mine always came with some seeds included) of flowers and some easy veggies. Maybe a few basic hand tools and watering cans. The way things have been, limiting visitors and such, it seems like something healthy and hopeful those folks might enjoy. I'll be sure to use your code when I order. It's going to be my Christmas gift to myself. Gratitude.

[@jamjar5716]

What a thoughtful gift. You are a sweetheart!

[@christiehedges7552]

Be encouraged! I bought a little 4pack of hyacinths in the spring and left them in the original plastic 4 section container with full intentions of dealing with them. When they died back I cut them off and put them on top of my fridge thinking that I would remember to take care of the bulbs. They got zero water for months. I forgot they were there. Last week I found them and a little green shoot had popped up above the soil. So I took them out and repotted them. I now have 4 little green shoots growing. I'm watering them and anticipating having the aroma of hyacinths in my kitchen in winter time. Lol They really wanted to grow! Maybe your strawberries are just as determined!

[@illyariddell1032]

“We must have grace for our mistakes.” Yes, that is the gem I needed to hear this morning.

[@aprilwestervelt3516]

Even tho there are many other reasons, I do absolutely love you because you solidly reject the evil concept of “gardening gloves”. 💪🏻 The soil manicure is the best manicure! 😂

[@phylliswild4277]

I can’t do anything with gloves on!

[@gardeninggamergirl7761]

Gardening gloves are for dainty ladies who just can't bear to get their hands dirty... I figure if I'm already kneeling onto dirt, why be so precious about my hands getting dirty? It's not like a washing cycle takes less water than washing my hands does.

[@fitzg]

I have sensory issues with my hands, so I often wear gloves to keep gardening enjoyable...otherwise it would be sensory overload and no fun! Everyone's reasons are different...not just for dainty ladies!

[@tarnr5713]

I too have always been an avid no gloves gardener .... until this year when we moved onto our new property. I am now slowly adapting to life with rampant stinging nettle and thick gloves. There are very few pockets of my new garden that don't require gloves because my tolerance for stinging nettle welts is very low. Hopefully one day I will manage to contain the beastly stuff and go back to bare hands

[@carolinablonde88]

I miss being able to garden without gloves. I have psoriasis so garden gloves are a must. I'm far from "dainty", but when my skin splits open frequently, it's not cool to be bleeding all over while playing in dirt 🤣

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

So proud of you for trying to get those strawberries going again. :) My little squirrels love to dig up my plants and I just keep putting things back in the ground, with more luck than no luck at still growing something. You've said it before, "Plants want to grow". Fingers crossed you get some plants still! Then will multiply like crazy and before you know it, you'll have strawberries everywhere! :)

[@shelleyparent4729]

When we moved to our new home 4 years ago, there were no vegetable gardens. One of the first things we did was plant a row blueberry bushes & strawberries as ground cover around the blueberries in amended soil. Then added wood chips for mulch. This garden is almost maintenance free.😊

[@Diana-ze8wu]

3+ yrs into year round gardening goals and the one thing I’ve learned to remind myself of: Plants and seeds WANT to grow! We just steward the process. Some things don’t work at first, other things surprise us. You’re right Jess, if you don’t plant it, it will never grow.

[@kellybesse4625]

Oh, I needed this! My sister-in-law gave me some bare root strawberries before Hurricane Ida. I didn’t plant them. Everything in my GreenStalk died during the hurricane because we moved it into the garage and our 3 day anticipated evacuation turned into a 3 week evacuation (still displaced from our home, but close enough to our home). I’m going to plant the bare roots and see what happens. May even pick up a leaf GreenStalk during this sale.

[@wendyjonasen9746]

Oooo girl, you were having a day. Loved your reaction right at the end when you spilled your tea, lol....been there. Thanks for sharing & thanks for being real. You are a blessing.

[@shellyholdren6120]

It's all about the Egg Nog in my coffee right now...Gotta say, you are in my head every time I stumble into a garden situation I am not sure how to navigate. Because of you and the classroom waiting room, I just try whatever I think might work. You have given my garden heart license to play and experiment! I now appreciate all my failures as they are the teachers! Blessings doll!

Well rats! I already ordered from Greenstalk before this came out! I had some strawberry plants that looked like yours this summer. Out of all the the plants, only one survived and I'm hoping that one makes it till next summer. Last summer was more like a funeral home than a waiting room but because of you, it became a classroom! 😜💕👍

[@nataleekelly2496]

Oh how I love u Jess! Thank u for being real and courageous enough to share ur mistakes. It makes me feel more normal for sure! Bless u.

[@TNMountainGarden]

Jess, loved your video and I accidentally did the same thing with a package of shipped strawberry plants. Some of the plants did survive. You mentioned that growth slows in your garden beds in the Winter which is normal. However, I have found that I can improve the growth by simply putting a frost cover over the plants. I suggest placing some flower pots turned upside down in the bed that are slightly taller than the plants. Next place the frost cover over the plants and place something on the outer edge of the frost cover to keep the frost cover secured in the wind. I truly believe you would be surprised how much more warmer the air under the frost cover will be. In the past I have filled plastic jugs with water and spray painted the jugs with black paint. The jugs headed up and retained some of the radiant heat from the sunlight during the night. Remember we never learn anything new unless we are willing to give it a try! You will never know what a blessing you have been in my life and I do miss the occasional devotional. You certainly made a huge difference in my life and I was finally able to I forgive God for things that happened to me in my childhood. May God continue to bless you, your family and your farm.

[@HabbyValleyHomestead]

When you go to plant your strawberry patch, plant some everbearing and the bulk in June bearing with varying maturity dates. The June bearing will give you batches that are ready together for preservation while you can enjoy the trickle of the everbearing.

[@billieyoung9001]

I'm working on getting back to being able to laugh at the craziness that happens. It warms my heart to see you do it

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

At one time, anything bad happened, I cried. Now, I laugh about the crazy things that happen. It least now I know the difference between normal bad stuff and this is weird and .... I need to tell my fellow gardeners for support. Each state has an agricultural extension, they are a great resource!

Girl I tell my momma who was a first time container gardener this summer( I took her some tomatoes and peppers as well as cucumbers). If it wants to grow ,it is gonna grow! If you don't plant the seeds and try it , I guarantee you that you will not grow anything but at least you have the chance if you do plant the seeds! She had a very successful garden this year! She is even going to plant an in ground garden this spring. She remembered how much she loved gardening this past.summer. Thank you for the videos!

[@cindyg.3875]

While I'm sad that you made a mistake, I am happy that you followed your own advice and planted them, just in case! Quick question... could Jeremiah do a quick demonstration about how he made the little platforms your GreenStalks are sitting on? I have 4 that I need to set up next year and don't have the extra cash to level an entire area for them. I know they need to be level in order for the watering system to work. Thanks for any tips!

[@belieftransformation]

I send you blessings & thanks for sharing! All of us “miss” things when pain strikes! We were up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit today in Alberta, Canada! Unreal at this time of the year! It is short lived but I’m thankful for a shorter winter! Happy building to you all!🤗❤️🇨🇦

I’m in Australia and it’s been a cold wet spring, my partner and I still potted up multiple pots and a bathtub while we look for a farm to buy, it hasn’t done as well as we’d hoped but every morning we still get something, a sweet pea or a strawberry! Waiting for our tomato’s and beetroots and chilli to produce but it’s been so rewarding! Watching your channel encouraged me to do this, may as well plant something then have nothing! And when we move we can just take it all with us!

[@paigegough6929]

I like the idea of companion planting fruit trees and strawberries underneath or rhubarb or herbs

[@GulfCoastGranny]

Jess, every time I try to plant strawberries in the ground, they get eaten by slugs and birds before I can enjoy them. I have much better luck in gutters or pocket planters.

Earl Grey tea with honey and cream is my winter go to drink. I have wonderful memories of my college days, drinking Earl Grey late into the night and talking, with my best friend Lesley, about our hopes and dreams for what our lives would turn out like. I think about those times every cup of Earl Grey. I always just stop what I am doing and sit down for a few minutes savor each sip of the tea and dream about what’s next in my life. I think that is one of the reasons God gave us Winters, so we could slow down and think about the coming year and what we really want to do and learn and accomplish.

[@cbjones2212]

I planted 20 bare rooted strawberry plants in our new garden about 18 months ago and had a wonderful harvest. Then when they sent out runners, I cut them off and planted them out as well. Every one of them have grown and now we have over 100 plants full of flowers and starting to fruit. They're such a robust plant. On tea, my Dad drank tea - made the 'proper' way with looseleaf in a pot - all day long. It worked out to about 10 cups a day and he swore by tea on a hot day as something that cooled him down.

Jess I am coffee all the way. But you know if I am not feeling well when you seeing me drinking tea. I grew up with black tea loved it but that was in Europe. Here in Oz just can not find the taste in tea I use to have. It was Russain blact tea. Those strawberries just wait they will grow. Talk to them. Tell them you sorry they were in the box longer than they should of been. Ask them to grow because you love them. Yesterday a I had the first two flowers on my Crepe Myrtel I kiss them and thank them they opened for me. I am not mad or sick in the brain but my friend told me long time ago if you talk to the plants they appreciate it. So now I have to go out take my chair and coffe and talk to my Avocado tree I have just put out into the garden after nearly 2 years in a pot. It is not looking happy at all but I will try to cheer it up. Wish me luck. 🙂

[@carolineguin7117]

Even if you have only one or two growing from the mooch it will be a victory. I love watching your channel in the morning, it is really cozy. My personnal victory in the garden is squash, in three years I only had super tiny little things to harvest, and this year I finally ended up with normal size fruits. The main issue was water apparently. For tea or coffee : I do coffee in the morning and tea the rest of the day. If I really want coffee during the day, my limit is between 4 and 5 pm or else I won't sleep at night. But nothing can beat tea to warm you up in winter, right?

[@carimitchell6138]

I absolutely loved growing strawberries in my greenstalk this year!

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Yes. I drink hot tea in the winter and I save the tea bags, let them dry out, open them up and dump them into an aluminum foil pan. Then let them dry out further. And then save it in freezer bags and collect more. In the Spring, I used it along with dried banana peels and sheep poop and added it to my garden beds. When I planted out my gardens, they grew immediately and took off. So, save that tea.

Don’t be too hard on yourself! Bury them in your strawberry bed! I went to the garden center to get strawberry plants with my ten year-old son. We already had the ground ready. We looked all around the garden center, but saw no strawberry plants. So we asked a lady who worked there and she told us to go to the refrigerator! I didn’t recognize them as strawberry plants...they looked dead, but we bought them, took them home and planted them! They soon looked great and I don’t remember if it was that year, but the next year we had a bumper crop! Each year we could pick a lot each day! So “don’t write those off” because I saw some white or very light green in there! I’d plant them as deep as possible IN your garden because the bottom of the small planters get very cold in the winter and they will freeze in those pots in the planters. You might have strawberries in the early spring!

They grew. 10 years later, I have moved the them twice to different homes, and they have multiplied. God Bless!

Jess, your coffee/tea situation is literally the same as mine. Coffee in the AM, tea after that, decaf tea later so I can sleep at night. The only difference is I'm the one with British heritage so my husband started drinking tea because of me. 😁🫖🤸🏾‍♀️

Love your grace and persistence around gardening. 🤞🤞 for these straw berries. I definitely add in more herbal teas in the winter months but after coffee. Happy thanksgiving to your and your family!

That's right Jess! If you throw them in the thrush you have 0 chance to get strawberries but if you plant them in the soil you have a chance... Good for you, can't wait to see them grow! I bless you! Hugs🤗❤🤗

Coffee in in the early morning and tea during that day, more in the winter less in the summer 😊

Sweet Jess, you’re so right, we have to give ourselves some grace. May God bless y’all.🍁🍂

Same here: I drink more tea in the winter and more coffee in the summer. And thank you for introducing the Vego Beds a while back. I ordered some and like them very much 👍🏾 Happy Fall! I hope your strawberries make it!

Jess, don't beat yourself up too much over the strawberries. Think about it as a supply chain problem, not anyone's "fault", and do what you can to fix it. Seems to me a lot of us spend too much time finding fault and not enough time finding solutions. Thank you for sharing this with us and making it a teaching lesson. Wishing you much bliss and lump free gravy this Thanksgiving.
