Hey all,

So I was in our backyard this past weekend playing with our daughter. We were enjoying our unseasonably warm November when I noticed that some of our strawberries in our strawberry patch were not only still growing, but still fruiting!

I had seen people online growing strawberries on their Tower Gardens, and knew from experience I could transplant a seedling (my tomato plant is still thriving btw). So I looked for some info on how to transplant and care for strawberries, and found this great video on my old favorite, YouTube! It is a video by the channel Green Food Solutions that details how to not online transplant strawberry seedlings, but also goes into care for the plants. It wasn’t the most slickly produced video I have ever seen, but all the info was great and they had good visuals! Very lucky to have found it.

Anyways, I got my strawberry cleaned up and soaked it and a cube of rockwool in some water.

Then I cut the cube to wrap the seedling. The video specified that I needed to place the rockwool up over the roots to give them the best chance of staying moist, so that is what I aimed for.

Now I get to fill in one of the empty lettuce spots on my tower!
