Sellers selling strawberry seedlings will be happy to share with you the benefits of planting this crop in the fall.
First of all, they usually mention the possibility of harvesting berries as early as the next season.
Moreover, if you follow all the rules, the plants will take root perfectly.

Finally, what cannot but please gardeners is that in the fall there is a large and varied selection of seedlings.
But at the same time, planting strawberries in the fall also has its downsides – and traders will most likely remain silent about them.
Perhaps the main disadvantage is the possibility of frost, so before carrying out any manipulations in the garden and vegetable garden, you should carefully monitor the weather forecast.
