Newbie strawberry question
« on: November 02, 2009, 11:58 »
I have a load of strawberry runners rooted in pots and am a little unsure if they are ok or should be under glass?

Don't know what to do with them to be honest, I don't really want another patch of them!  :lol:

That begs the question,"why did you pot them up in the first place!" :tongue2:

They are as tough as old boots & don't need to be under glass, you just need to find someone to give them to.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Thanks Dave.

No, ta.

My "Irresistable" strawberries which I'm not supposed to propagate have propagated themselves with no help!

You could leave them in their pots over winter to get some frost then bring them into the greenhouse in spring to get early strawberries - mmmm!

I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

If any of those fancied a holiday in sunny blackpool, then I'm sure I could find a bed for them to "rest" in ;)

I'll see what I've got after I've dug them out.

My plan was to bury them in some neatly dug holes in the hope they wouldn't keep growing.

Not a chance that'll work, are you on drugs? :O

Much better to treat them to a holiday on costa-del-pool ;)
