    Hi, I've just gone out and bought some strawberry plants, and I've potted them, but I don't know if I can go right out and put them outside or should they stay in for a while?

    Thank you so much, I really need help on this

    If they came from under cover in a GC it might be best to put the pots in a sheltered corner for a week or ten days before you plant them just in order to prevent any cold shock set back. If the plants were growing without any protection you should be quite safe popping them straight in the ground.
    We cover ours with fleece at this time of year and find that it brings the fruit on by about two weeks.
