Tell me if i've done this right, and what to expect this season. Please

My OH bought two strawberry plants last year, i popped them in a growbag and we got a handful of fruit off them.  As the runners came, i pegged them into the growbag. We ended up with about 20 new plants.

At the end of Feb i planted 6 into the unheated greenhouse, and a couple of weeks ago we planted the rest (including the original plants) into a well prepared little raised bed.

Now i'm reading up on strawbs, and have discoved the variety is Aromel, a perpetual strawberry.  Which plants should i allow flower, and which should i stop, or do i bother?

We have mostly Autumn raspberries so earlier strawbs would be appreciated.

Also how much space should i have given the 17 plants? (I think i may have crammed them in a bit) but i could whip a few out and put them in hanging baskets.

I just let mine do as they please and dig them up and move them every 3 years.

You really want to pinch the runners off any plants you want to crop (keep a few plants aside for growing more stock from if you need more plants), so that the plant's energy goes into setting fruit not growing leaves.
