Default Strawberry runner question

Hi all,

Do you have to cut back the runners as well as the main plant or just let them grow

Depends if you want more stawberry plants or not

If they are 1st year plants I wouldn't let the runners stay on particularly with the weather as it is at the moment, it could put too much stress on the plants
