Thanks Vicky, Do the runners have to be attached or can they be separated
and replanted ??


I only separate them once its clear that the new plants have put down
decent roots, ie: they poke out of the bottom of the pot.
Runners pegged down in July certainly can be separated

If you leave the moving till spring then you will reduce next years
crop, if you can move them this month they will do much better next
year as they will have time to settle in and get rooting before the
winter comes.
