Re: strawberrie

I can't remember off-hand the name of the varieties I planted. But this is what I did to put in by strawberries last summer.  I amended the soil with conmpost.  Planted my strawberry plants.  I was amazed at how they packed 25 plants in such a small package.    The only piching back I did was to pinch off all the blossoms so no fruit was produced.  Other than that all I did was make sure they got enough water, either from rainfall or the garden hose.  Each plant has put out 3-5 runners and I just let them go.  I think some people pinch these runners off.  Is this just to keep your patch under control or to keep all the grow in the original plant?  If they keep multiplying at this rate, they will take over my garden on about another year.
