Strawberries

forgetmenots

Hi all,

I was given some strawberry cuttings earlier this year, I potted them into a large round pot and had them in a cold frame outdoors.

I put some manure around them but recently noticed some tiny flies on the plants.. I have re-potted them again in compost and soil mix ..in seperate pots, I have now put them in a small greenhouse I have.

I wonder if this will be ok over the winter months or should I leave them outdoors ? 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

They're hardy - they should be outdoors.  

As they're still small plants , you can tuck them against a wall or somewhere sheltered if you like. They'll die back over winter, although, if it's mild, they'll often keep producing new foliage. 

I often leave potted runners in amongst other plants in a border.
