Where did you get them from Naga?

I've never seen runners like that. I'd just pop them into a pot and see what happens.

You're holding them the right way up I think.

You'll need to thread them through carefully so might need to empty some compost out if thats your strawberry bag behind.

Just leave a bit of the top out.

Soak before you plant ...

I have simillar to these from Pound Shop and Wilko. Can I plant them outside when the snow clears or do I need to worry about last frost which for me will be another 2 months away?

What do I do in the meantime? They say they are dormant until planted...

Don't feed them after midnight or get them wet.

I wouldn't bother with that strawberry hanging basket thingy: they're awful to keep properly watered

Roots down, shoots up.
