Is it too late to plant strawberry plants in the ground? I've been weeding my garden plot and I have plenty of space for a couple strawberry plants and maybe one other edible plant. Any suggestions for what else is good to plant in the summer. I have four basil plants? marigolds and two cherry tomato plants so far..

I think the strawberry plant will be alright for planting I suggest mint especially spear mint I have some they are great for mint tea!

How do you harvest and store mint? I might try that. I also love Mojitos too.

When they are ready you can take some of the mint leaves off and if some stems come off by accident you can use them as well I used to have 3 types of mint plants but my green house collapsed I can give you suggestions of other mints if you want

What's the best method for storing??

### Eb commented on 2025-06-30

Uhh maybe putting it in plastic boxes I think

Oh I forgot to mention mint can take over if you’re not looking just a warning!!

Good to know thanks

Strawberry can also be extremely invasive! I’d only plant in a pot. Same with the mint, basil, and other herbs.
