Re: strawberrie

Are these summer or everbearing types?

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.
