Strawberries

[PhilCCFC]

Could someone please tell me what I should do with my strawberry plants over the winter? They are currently in various bags and pots, I have bought a strawberry planter for next year to keep them all in one place.

The plants that I have are a mixture of seed produced strawberries and 3 year old plants.

Thanks

Strawberries are hardy, so OK outside. (I assume you are UK? can you put your location into your profile?)

Cut back on the watering: keep them dryish, but not bone dry.

OK thanks, do I need to cut back any of the foliage Two Sheds?

[Two_Sheds]

Cut off any dead or dying foliage, yes.

They'll be fine outside but it would be worth you taking some runners off the older plants next year (too late now this year I think) as they tend to only really last for 3 years before getting rather exhausted and their produce falling off.

Thanks both. I will put this on the to do list for this weekend! Cheers for the tip Alison, I did this earlier on and have already had some berries off the extra plants!
