Will the mold go away, kill the plant, cause it not to produce or ruin the berries? They were shipped on a Monday and I got them Friday but they still had fuzzy mold on them. Mostly on the leaves but some on the roots. I planted them anyways...
You should contact the seller for a refund. They may have been in transit too long or were too wet.
Since you planted them, if it's powdery mildew they may survive.

We have about an acre of strawberries but this year has been so warm so early now they are already Flowering, and it’s way to early should I pick the flowers off? Will they get more flowers in June too?
I would go ahead and let nature take its course. If yours are June bearing, they need time to grow.

I read an article on your website about companion planting for asparagus that strawberries were included as part of the good companions list however I read an article on another website (https://strawberryplants.org/strawberry-companion-plants/) that said that asparagus is a bad choice as a companion plant because these two plants compete for nutrients in the soil and stunt each other's growth. Now I'm confused. Which website is accurate?
Strawberries and asparagus are a very common planting combination within the gardening community.
The only thing that I recommend doing slightly differently when planting them together is to plant the asparagus a couple of inches deeper than you would, normally. They will tolerate a deeply buried crown, and this will give the strawberries some more soil space at the surface for its own roots.
I’m in zone 6 and this is the first time I’ve done container planting.
Depending on the type of strawberry that you chose, it will be exactly like in-ground care. Some strawberries are hardier than others, but many are hardy well below your zone. These article will help to winterize some of the more sensitive types:
