If January’s warm weather didn’t prompt you to get out and start poking around in the garden, then maybe the prospect of saving a considerable amount of money will. I’m talking about bare-root plants, those often-packaged deciduous bundles that cost twice as much during other times of the year when not in their dormant state. So pick your space wisely, prep the soil and get shopping.
Strawberries
The fact that a single bare-root plant costs less than a basket of pesticide-laden strawberries at the supermarket is almost comical. According to “The Edible Garden,” (Sunset Publishing, 2005), strawberries are among the easiest edibles to grow but do require well-drained, rich organic soil with a pH no higher than 6.5, light feeding after harvest and consistent watering.
