  3. But if I cut the runners how will I get volunteer strawberries in my roses? My strawberry crops going to be great this year. I’m so excited!

  4. My grandmother taught me how to cultivate strawberries and it is pretty similar. Year one after planting, cut all runners and pick all flowers. Year two, pick all flowers, and allow the runners BUT clip them as soon as they put down roots. Third year on, flowers become fruit….and if you don't want your strawberry patch to expand, clip the runners from there on out. Otherwise, you can leave the runners and let your patch expand. I've established successful strawberry patches from Arkansas to Alaska, and they're all doing extremely well. And some of those strawberry patches are over forty years old and yield many gallons of strawberries each year.

  8. But the real question is how do you stop the squirrels and birds from eating every fruit before it's even red

  10. I would love to see what you do with hydroponic towers!!! Please consider it if possible.

  12. Can I cut the runner with roots and plant it in a pot to get another strawberry plant?

  14. When I purchased a strawberry hanging basket and was advised not to cut the runners (my partner was hearing things…?)
    We had knowledge of runners before hand.

  16. Fuckkkkkk I saw a guy cut the flower off his banana tree so it wasted less energy on the flower and more on the fruit!!!! I went and did that with my strawberry leaves 🥹 when nothing popped up I KNEW I INTERFERED WITH THE PHOTOSYNTHESIS PROCESS!!!!

  19. I put a few in the ground and now they somehow started growing up a wall

  20. Those runners have literally traveled across an acre of land and now are EVERYWHERE

  21. The Key to a juicy harvest is Mulching in my opinion. I mean the name already gives us a hint, "Straw"berry, after a few years Strawberries will Mulch themself with their own Straw.

  24. A few years ago we made an experiment with strawberries,we replanted 12 young plants into a mulched bed and created for them a forest like environment. We got 4 pounds of strawberries form those 12 plants in the second year.

  25. I love these tips! I just bought a large raised bed and filled it scarcely with plants expecting the runners to put off more. Do you still recommend cutting the runners or leave them to get more plants? Thanks.
