Pillage, you ever buy bare root strawberries? This is my first time and they came in 4 days before I have time to plant them . I moistened the roots and have them in the ice box until tomorrow. They've been in the ice box since Tuesday and they still look great. Guessing they are ok for one more day.

Every year.
Although I usually plant them end of October/November. But yes, as long as you don’t let them dry out they’ll be fine in the refrigerator for a few days.
I say every year only because the last couple of years a haven’t been able to keep them alive during the extreme heat and drought spells we had over the summer months. Even with irrigation. Previously I had some plants that lasted for almost 3 years. I let them send out runners and spread, overwintered them, and they gave me bumper crops the next spring. I really hope I can replicate that this year. We’ll see if I can keep them alive over the summer.
