Wild strawberries

[bmt123]

So I was walking around my yard and found a whole bunch of wild strawberries. I really want to put them in my box turtle pen but I am not sure exactly how any help would be great.

My box turtle pens are covered with them. They are very easy to transplant, as most every plant has runners with new plants at the end of them. Just grab a handful of plant down close to the roots and pull it out of the ground, then plant it in the new spot. You'll have to keep it well watered because you've terrorized the root system, but they transplant easily.

Ok I will try that thanks

They're pretty easy, like Yvonne said. And in a couple years they'll be spreading like crazy! But, they're strawberries, who could be upset at tons of strawberries?

My russian pen has wild strawberries growing in it but I've never seen it set fruit due largely from them eating the flowers at first bloom!
