Nah, I’m cool. 

 

In a final comment, I mow my strawberries out of habit every year and when I do, I am able to see the plant stand once the leaves are removed.  Allows me to understand where the crowding is occurring so I can remove excessive plant and help me understand where the holes are in the rows so I take the ones I removed and move them to where they need to go.

 

Thanks for all of your input.

That wasn't me. Jim.

You've probably confused the original sender of that question with me because I replied to it.
