Hi guys, As promised I planted 4 plants. One in each corner of my new Harvest. Every year Walmart receives their garden veggie and fruit supplies around February. These sell for $3 with 10 crowns to a bag. On day 1 it looks like this.  |

I am interested in seeing how these do. Especially since they are usually in a different medium for growing.

One week into this project and a bit of pruning back, you can see that 3 of the 4 plants have new growth. I'll replace that one bad one today. No nutes added yet as I'm following that YouTube guy on AG strawberry growing.  |

10 for $3 at WalMart.
Ever-bearing I believe.

Glad they are ever bearing. It's so much fun to be able to pick them whenever they ripen.

As you can see, that front right corner doesn't seem to want to grow anything. That's the third crown I've planted there. Oh well... On day 15 I've added 2 mils of Grow Big plant food and topped off the water.  See ya next week. |

Is that hole getting water thru the canal? Yes, I've triple checked everything.  |

I guess it's day 21. Don't know how my Harvest changed its Day Planted display. Hmmm The odd ball plant that didn't grow was replaced again (front right corner). The last three crowns didn't look very good so if this one doesn't grow, its only 3 plants I'll be nursing. I threw those three away. At $3 for 10 crowns, I'm not losing much.  |

Well lookie here. Another flower. It's in the back right pod.  The front one's flowers died and is now growing another 3. Added nutes and next week will be R&R.  Hmmm, I just might get a few strawberries eventually.  |
