					<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve ever talked about strawberry plant propagation in our previous posts. So, let&#8217;s change that! Strawberries are a rhizome, which means that they grow horizontally and replicate via their root systems. Unlike a lot of plants, strawberries will spread out from season to season, rarely respecting any boundaries you set for them. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s talk fiddlehead ferns! It might surprise some, but this delicate fern finds itself right at home in northern climates, even down to zone 2! Fiddleheads, sometimes also called Ostrich fern, are known as a delicacy when harvested young. Typically, the right time to harvest them is right before they unfurl, quite early in the [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve found it very valuable to cover many of our perennials with 2 to 4 inches of straw, prior to the cold temperatures setting in. What this does is create a second insulation barrier.

When we start to get into the area of overwintering &#8220;all perennials&#8221; in locations where it&#8217;s otherwise impossible, we&#8217;re exploring an area of botany that has rather little research and practice.
