Help. My strawberries have gone wild and are taking over the garden. Do I
prune them, cut them, dig up and replant, or what?

I would cut off the runners, dig up the baby plants, pot them up, and offer
them to folks on this newsgroup!

According to one source I found, "Leaving runners on will mean a large
number of medium-sized berries. Removing runners will mean fewer but larger
berries." (http://www.daybellnursery.com/november42000.html)
