Will they fruit again and a over wintering question

[MrToggs]

Just bought some strawberry plants from my local garden centre that they were selling off really cheap 3 large plants in a pot 2 for a £5.00.
They were a little ragged but very healthy plants none the less so I cleared all the dead leaves and remains of any fruit and fruit stalks and tied all the stems up into a tidy bunch.
As they have already fruited the lady at the garden centre they would but ive discovered they are carpenters and the guide for fruiting is June/July.
As Im keeping them in large containers on the patio what is the best way to over winter them ?

Strawberries are tough plants and will survive the winter very well.
Last winter was the coldest for years. I had dozens of strawberries in barrels on my patio. I made no effort to prtect them from the weather, yet didn't notice any plant deaths to frost damage.
Most strawberry types have finished fruiting now, but will start producing runners, which you can let root and then cut off in the autumn, to increase your stock of plants for next year.
Some strawberry varieties are rather reluctant to produce runners (e.g. Florence), while others will produce lots of runners per season (e.g. Pegasus).

I have the same issue. My plants (Camb Favourite, Red Gauntlet) have stopped flowering.

As these are mid-late (according to the label), should they have stopped or should they still be flowering and fruiting.

The difference in fruiting time between earlies and lates is only a few weeks.
My lates finished fruiting in the last week. My earlies finished fruiting a couple of weeks ago.
Often, when fruiting stops, they start sending out runners. Mine are now doing just that. The runners I want to keep are being allowed to root. The excess are being cut off, which improves the strength of the plants for next year and produces better sized runners this year.

I only ever grow strawberries for fun as I dont have much space but Dads strawbs seemed to go on for ever not just August but nearly til the first frost!, no idea what varieties they were.
