Last August I inadvertently placed an order for strawberry plants that I later learned was a pre-order for a Jan 2026 ship date. *face palm* They are scheduled to arrive next week. A quick Google search says Sept-Nov is the best time to plant in Texas. Well clearly we missed that mark. Can I save these plants? Any advice? I have a bundle of 25 plants coming my way. I’ve never planted strawberries before so will take all the tips and tricks you guys have.
