GPSFrontier, is there a reason you want to overwinter for 4 months? Is that a specific length of time for a reason. My thinking would be that when a plant like a strawberry goes dormant, there must be a minimum time it must freeze, and a maximum amount of time where the plant doesn't have any advantage to freezing longer. How did you come to a time of 4 months. Does it just work better for your cycles? My thinking, is that I would only run two crops, and freeze each crop once per year. Save you a lot on refrigeration.
I'm curious because I want to grow strawberries year round here in Canada, partly indoor and outdoor. Would be nice to just take a couple plants at a time and throw them in a deep freezer for a week, and start them again to have fresh strawberries in the winter. As a bonus, it would let me kill off any bugs with the deep freezer at the end of the year before putting them into my grow room.
