    Strawberries are waking up and the Blueberries are doing well too.

    Sorry couldn't tell you @Sjoerd as I've had them years and years. ,I tend to keep the plants a couple of seasons and also plant up a few new runners each year. I have them in hanging baskets as it keeps them free of Vine Weevils....horrid things!
