Hi everyone, I'm a complete gardening novice & I planted two baskets of strawberries in the greenhouse this year, three plants per basket. They are doing great, we've already had some ripe berries & there are plenty of new flowers coming through. When harvesting the ripe strawberries, I just take the berry itself, leaving the remainder of the flower on top, should I cut this off with the berry?

There are now what I assume are runners growing from each basket, maybe ten between the two. One of my uni tutors mentioned that these can be turned into new plants but how? Do I take them off yet? How do I make them root? And will they survive the winter? (I assume these would be next years plants)

Here is a photo of what I think are runners, any advice welcome, as I said I'm a complete novice!
