Hi...that pic of strawberries in planter that u posted: I purchased one three days ago at Lowes. My temp tonight will be 11 degrees. You think it will survive that cold PLUS wind?

I love strawberries but have never try to grow them.

Bring it in, or cover it with a heavy towel if you can’t, remembering to take it off during the day when it warms up.

Strawberries (that are growing and producing, not dormant) don’t like nighttime temps any lower than 65 degrees, so 11 degrees will definitely damage and might even kill your plant!

Daytime temps MUST be above freezing, too. And they like full sun.
