strawberries

Good morning samuria,

"-and clipped of the runner shoots",  I presume you mean 'off' but thant's just being pedantic! 

You should really plant the runners into pots while still attached to the parent plant holding them down on the soil with a clip of some sort (ie bent wire to stop the wind moving the plantlets) only cutting them from the parent plant when a good root system has formed.

 Carry on with your 14 babies, I should pop them in the greenhouse but don't let them dry out or overwater them.  Please let us know the results.

Cheers,  Tony.

i should have said they are all in medium size pots and well rooted so that's why i clipped (OFF)
the runners..... i will put them in my greenhouse then.
thanks folks 

Whether you plant them out now or in the spring, strawberries are very hardy and there's no need to molly-coddle them in the greenhouse.

we have potted our strawberry plants up in pots and there in a cold frame till spring and I have to say I agree with DD on this topic we have previously took strawberry cuttings from the mother plants and had no problem  they also seemed to crop better the second season after planting out but probably that's me
