I'd just want to leave them be. Dig around the patch and plant some of the

Are you saying I can transplant the plants at the end of the runners and
dig the rest up? Or that I should selectively dig around the
strawberries when planting tomatoes?



Strawberries are short-lived, they bear most in their first 3-6 (or so)
years, and renewing a plot by taking the first sets of plants off runners
and planting them elsewhere is the usual, over here.

Thanks. I didn't know that.


The mint might still come back if you give it enough water. If it was a
real mint, Mentha sp., that is.

The tag only says "peppermint". No latin name. It survived the first ice
storm but didn't seem to make it through the second one. The patch has
been getting spring rain but so far shows no sign of life.
