The strawberry plants were well packaged with me and were perfect! I've been about six weeks now stand on my balcony and apparently they feel there and in my care very well;) we were able to reap the first 3 strawberries and there are more to come, because all my plants bear fruits (namely more than expected) and it grow more and more flowers. I usually have no green thumb and am also assumed that no harvest so great in this (first) year, so I am totally surprised that everything has changed, and the plants grow so well :) thumbs up, strong buy recommendation :)
