Propogating Strawberries



I purchased 50 "Aromel" everbearer strawberry plants from Moles seeds this year. They performed well and are still producing 2-3lb of fruit a week for us to pick and will continue to do so until the first frosts.
At this time of year they also send out runners which I potted up into 4" pots just over a week ago. As you can see they have already started to root and in another fortnight or so, I will cut them free from the mother plant. After one season, my 50 plants will have increased by a further 100 which will ensure a plentiful supply of stawberries throughout all of next summer and early autumn.
