Default Strawberries

I've just bought some strawberry plants (Red Gauntlet and Hapil).

I've never grown strawberries before, so I have a few questions:

Can I plant them outside now?

You can plant them anytime in my experience. All year round you can pull off
the runners and pot them up.

Can I grow them in growbags?

Yes.

If so, how many in one growbag?

I use growbags for my tomatoes but I'm sure the bag says its suitable for 3
tomato/pepper plants or 6-8 tomatoes.

What, if anything, do I fertilise them with?

I imagine tomato food would work well.
