My strawberries are sending out loads of runners while they're still
cropping, so you should get some soon I would have thought

Heres hoping....

I mainly wanted runners this year.....I only have 2 plants and the
idea of having so many more next year is what I am planning on...

I don't want to buy any if I can possibly avoid it! B-)


I have a theory that strawberries can tell if you want them to runner, and
deliberately don't. Try walking round making loud comments about how good
it is that you've found plants that want to concentrate on fruit. ;-)
