Aggressive strawberry runners
New bed of strawberries - planted 2+ months ago - just
starting to bear - putting out quantities of "aggressive" runners. Bed is very small; no place to root runners. Should I: 1. Cut them off and replant elsewhere? If so, can I plant (a) between roses - yes, there is room (b) between veggies - if so, which to avoid? 2. Enlarge bed - terrible nuisance, have to dig up horrible lawn and enrich - big job. 3. Cut off and discard. Help..they're about to come in through my window g This is So. Calif Coastal. TIA Persephone |

Aggressive strawberry runners
I have been thinking of putting in a new strawberry patch. Mine is good it
just doesn't give enough. They never make it in the house I eat them. So I need to put in way more. I was scoping out a flower bed that would look better with strawberries. wrote in message ...
