Strawberries

Strawberry season has been over for several weeks. But, I still need to maintain the planting bed. Strawberrys like to be weed free, so we monitor the area and pull any unwantededs out.

Strawberries send out runners in late summer and fall. These runners root in the soil and become new plants that will bear strawberries next year. I'm posting this picture to show the agressiveness of the runners. They are spilliing out of the bed's border, trying to find a spot to take root wherever possible.
