OT strawberries

Will the plants that bear this year bear again next year? If not, should I dig them up? There are runners at the edge of the patch for new plants for next year. I just got a few plants last year and picked off the blossoms to let them get established, & they had many runners.

I planted some this year myself. I actually planted two different kinds. The ones that are everbearing will last about three years. Then, I think you can rejunivate (spelling may be wrong there) and they will go again. The June bearing kind, will last several more years I think. You can Google for growing strawberries, and it will give me a lot of info. I've got to get back on there myself and see what I need to do for mine.
There was a local guy that put in a patch two different years. He said the kind he got, that you plowed them up each year and planted new ones. He is no longer in business.

Best to cut off most of the runners- they just make the plant put more energy into growing foilage than producing fruit. Train nearby runners to fill in if you have some voids in your row, but where the existing plants are OK, cut the runners off. Should get good production for 3 or 4 years- then plow it up and get new plants.
