One should never buy more than half a dozen strawberries for this

Why not?

Because after the first fruiting they will throw runners and you will have
more plants than you can deal with for the following year.

Mine have got lots of flowers on at the moment, so I'm expecting a good
crop later.

Fortunately, I rather like straberries!
