Using a row cover is a great way to extend the growing season in both the spring and fall, but when your strawberry flowers begin to bloom, you should remove the row covers to allow for pollination. Depending on when that happens and the current weather, you can remove the row covers in the morning for the day when pollinators are active and then replace them at night if there is any chance of adverse weather.
