It's not too late Danno, but you may not get a great harvest next year if they are junebearers. It will be tough for them to get established in the summer heat.

I planted mine in July or August of last year.
I got a few berries, but this year they really took off.

One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Yep, I'd plant them now...
That way they can get established for next year to produce..
I do transplant mine, all thru summer..
And Strawberries are pretty hardy..
I had some over winter in a 6 pack container
one year here in a growing zone 5...
They're pretty tough..
The only tricky part about growing strawberries is
NOT TO PLANT THEM TOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEP!!!!
They like to be half in and half out....

I planted a few strawberry plants in a pot this spring. Hoping to have berries for when my granddaughter came for fathers day. Now it is July 8 and still no berries. What did/or didn't I do? Will they still berry up? I'll take the pot in for winter, will they berry next yr.?

Mine produced a few berries last year, I didn't pick 'em, but this year they did real good.
The bed I built is 4 by 8 feet, I added 200# of sand and 200# of cow manure compost, this raised the bed about 2", I buried a soaker hose in bed, and water every day.
