How old are the plants?

Really established ones won't move very well. Better to start afresh from the runners.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

How long do the strawberry plants last? They throw out runners and they, in turn, throw out runners. How long, when space is limited, is it worthwhile keeping the "original" plant?
If I can grow things in Shetland, then you can certainly grow things where you are!

3 years is the recommended time, but you can stretch it a bit.
