When I had them in my large garden, I'd just till out the old and leave rows of newer plants every couple of years. With this new bed, I'll have to keep the paths on each side cleared, but I won't promise the rest of the bed won't become a solid mat....but I'll try to keep ahead of them! It has worked well to have these plants in the flower bed and allowing them to make runners for the main bed. I'll just let them be a ground cover there for now, and not worry about their fruiting abilities.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-61939130992845070222013-07-25T06:56:03.867-07:002013-07-25T06:56:03.867-07:00Yeah!

At least I started the plants inside on Tuesday as I don't see myself going out and digging any time soon. I read part of the strawberry guide. He does it the way I've always tried to do strawberries. Last year though I let the runners get ahead of me. So sad. I hope I keep up with them this year. It really spoils your production when they take over. I do need a few more plants though. So a few runners wills stay. It is interesting that he says you can let the bed go for four or five years. I've always found that after three you should renew the bed.

Of course, August and into mid September are THE hottest months of our Summer so I have some time. Our growing season can last well into November. <br /><br />But you're reminding me to start planning. I've got to get the drip irrigation finished in the next few weeks. Then we'll see what happens in September.

After I finish cooking dinner and get the kitchen cleaned up and transplant, water in and mulch the strawberries.....then I'll rest (after a large dose of Tylenol) :-D<br /><br />It's 98.4 in the shade right now (5 o'clock). No relief from the heat here.

Can't wait to see how your fall garden turns out! Hubby just bought two "headlights" for us (for camping) but I might need to try them out in the garden. :-)Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.com
