Could you please tell me what to do with my strawberry plants. They are in their second year and have gone mad with lots of leaves and runners. Do I cut them right back? Awaiting your reply.

It is best to cut them and dig up the roots (if they have rooted) many recommend replanting runners in a different location to avoid disease I have never done this tho and am relatively successful with them being in the same place for years. The runners seem to produce a bit more prolific but not by much but you should replace plants every 3 to 4 years.
