Forget stores like WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot etc Big chain nurseries should be OK. Miami should be full of Mom and Pops. Look in the yellow pagesI don't think I know any mom and pops. I hope there are other places.
Yellow pages are the yellow colored pages in a phone book. In a city the size of Miami the yellow pages are probably a separate book from the white pages. Just google Miami yellow pages and look up Nurserys. A mom and pop is any business that is not a chain or a big box store. A chain store will probably be OK. but a small mom and pop will be better suited for your needs as anyone who works there will know what they are talking about. A mom and pop business is normally locally owned and operated by the owners, usually with a few other employees. They will be very familiar with all of the plants that grow in the area, which varieties are best, what time to plant, diseases etc.I'm not sure how to use the yellow pages. What are mom and pops exactly? Like a garage sale?
What category do I use for yellow pages? Sorry I'm so dumb.
Did you ask them if strawberrys are successful there? Or if it is the wrong time of year? Do they ever get plugs?I called at least 5 different places and nobody has any strawberry plants.
Strawberries are location sensitive. Are the variety of your 2 plants for your location? Did you get them locally or online. The second link I sent you lists the varieties for you area.
