Default Strawberry runners redux

what variety(ies) did you plant? have they
been getting enough water? how hot has it
been? how much light do they get? are they
near a wall or rocks that may be reflecting or
storing heat?


Any comment on runners vs. fruit?


if you don't need the extra plants to
fill a space then it is better to not have
the plants putting energy into runners.
3-5 plants per square foot is plenty.
