Last year I bought 10 strawberry plants and managed to kill them all by leaving them in small pots and not watering them enough. They were a mix of popular varieties but all fairly early ones I think and certainly no everbearers.
This year I returned from overseas at the start of June to find 2 strawberry plants in the ground nearby with fruits on them (not sure if they came from runners or self-seeded). They had stopped fruiting within a couple of weeks, i.e. by mid to late June.
During July and August I have turned those 2 plants into about 20 by pegging down the runners.
Now one of the new plants is flowering! Is this normal? Is it a desirable characteristic?
