I bought some at walmart, planted them in a sandy soil filled pot and just let them go. They are 3yrs old. A friend of mine grows her's in her sandy front flowerbed-she has so many babies to give away every year. They really like sandy soil it seems. CJ

I have also been wondering about strawberries. I would like to know what varieties do well here in the Piney Woods. I have not seen any for sale in my local stores. Anyone know of a good supplier?

Strawberries LOVE East Texas!!! Please check out your local feed store. In our area the feed stores cater to the "old" farmers who know what grows the best here.

misha35,

If you're in Longview, Horaney's has them. From what I read, Squoia and Chandler are the best variety in this area. I bought mine from Simmons Plant Farm online.

They're 6 bucks for 25 plants.
