Over wintering strawberries

[Dynamo]

When I got my lottie in the spring it hadn't been worked for about a year, so I left in what was already growing to see what there was and if they were any good. One of the things I inherited was about half a dozen or so strawberry plants. They had been looked after at one point because each of them had a plastic membrane covering the ground around them. That said, there was a load of weeds that needed clearing around them so they could see the light. Once the weeds were cleared, the plants thrived and I got a steady, if not a bumper crop from them in the latter part of the summer.

Now that the plants are dying off, I decided to dig them up and pot them on so I can clean the plants up properly and put them in a different bed in a position that suits me better. After digging them up I am splitting them up. So far from about four plants I have got about twenty plants all growing away merrily in pots.

My question is, is it okay to just leave them outside in the pots as they are, or would it be better if I put them under cover like in a greenhouse over the winter? The fact that they have survived themselves very well over at least one winter already leads me to believe that they won't need pampering as such and will be quite happy where they are. I don't actually have a greenhouse myself, but I do have a friend who I can probably trouble to let me use his, but that would mean trecking the plants over to his house about half a mile away.

I often have strawberries overwintering outside in pots - they'll be fine!
