Probably my fault, but ...

I thought I did everything right, but the plants all died. Perhaps it was too cold here in NW Montana for this variety?

They're doing great!

About 22 of the 25 made it and are doing great. They've been in the ground about a month and a half and they already are producing many green berries. I was a little concerned about dry roots through the mail but it worked out great and I'm happy to be growing these. Looking forward to trying them.

Delicious strawberries

The variety, Albion, is a great berry and the best I have ever eaten. The bare-root plants I got from Territorial Seed did well...91 out of 98 survived! That's good odds. I also have other Albions I got from Territorial a couple of years ago, and they are producing very well. If you love strawberries, you cannot go wrong with Albions.

Sad...

Ordered two bundles of your strawberries for fresh eating and they just didn't grow. Out of the two bundles planted in lovely conditions only 3 have survived. Very sad. I have been ordering seeds and plants from you for years, even picked some up when passing through your area. Never had this happen.
