Bare rooted strawberry plants

I'd pop them in compost for now if they were mine

.... but don't over water them ( just a bit damp), and then transplant in a few weeks.

I had some delivered in October and had no chance of doing anything with them at the time. I took them out the wrappings and just stuck them in a bucket of water. They were in the water for about 4 weeks before I had chance to plant them and they are fine now. Try to keep them frost free to give them a better chance.

I'd plant them up into 3" pots and then plant them out when the weather warms up a bit. Did this last winter and had a good crop off them in the summer. Putting them in compost means that they'll get a bit of a head start which is always good

Strawbs are quite hardy, if the plants are more than runners, it might be work potting them up and once established, popping them outside?

I had mine delivered last weekend - and couldn't pot them up as recommended, as my compost was completely frozen! They are wrapped in wet newspaper, in a bucket, in the summerhouse - hope they survive until the compost thaws...

I would try and pot them up in 3" pots. Not too wet, but you do need to let air get to the crowns. If they're kept wrapped in plastic they will rot.
