I planted some strawberries. The instructions said, space every 3 feet. I ignored them, but I shouldn't have. Strawberry plants put off runners which become new plants. So on a 4 foot row, you could start with two plants. Within months, plants will fill in the row. I used Everbearing Strawberries. They have a spring and also a smaller fall harvest. You could put 3 rows in a 4 foot space - one in the middle and two on the edge. On a 4x4 bed, you may not need rows. You could reach in from any side. When picking strawberries, if the tip is white then it is not ready. It needs to ripen another day.
