Hi All,
what you need to do is to peg down the runner with a length of stout wire
shaped like a inverted U . then the runner will form roots, and you can then
sever it from the main plant. if you need to move the new plant you can peg
it down in to a pot of soil, then when you sever it from the main plant you
can replant it in to a new place. hope this helps you.

Hi, Everybody,

Yes, I tried a Google search, but a couple of things
weren't clear.

Right now, it is mid-summer in this part of the world.
I have seven strawberry plants, with good pollination,
plenty of green fruits at the moment, and a small but
steady supply of yummy fruits.

I looked up the idea of harvesting strawberry seeds,
and it seems that people prefer to put the fruit in a
blender(?) This was a surprise for me. I had
*thought* that the seeds were those small green bits
all over the outside of the fruit(?) So I had thought
about using tweezers to pull those off. But maybe that
was mistaken?

The other option is to use runners. I have some
hanging stems (coming out from the middle), with a few
leaves plus flowers and fruits. But I don't see any
starting of roots on these.

Do the runners need to slouch down and get in contact
with some soil before they put out roots?

Also, could anybody explain how to deal with new plants
(from runners) over the winter? Keep them inside
maybe?

Thanks for all of your advice...
