If you have enough time and space, you could first put the runners in little pots while still attached to the mother plant, and then, once they have a good root system, cut them off and plant them in their new position.Siebrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-37769849877946216382021-06-21T17:08:21.472+10:002021-06-21T17:08:21.472+10:00Thankyou.

Wait until the long string between the runners start to die or brown then cut off. I would dig up the old plants in Fall then plant out the new ones ( from runners ) when it is safe to do so in your area.<br />Perhaps add some garden soil to the compost so it doesn't sink so much.Wendy Gowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079131126381265901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-89413922307582635972021-06-21T16:59:21.280+10:002021-06-21T16:59:21.280+10:00Hi Jenny.

When I read your menu plan it reminded me of my mothers 1970 favourite chopsuey, so I made it, using quorn instead of mince, but it did taste as I remembered. Thanks for the reminder and it's now added to our frugal recipe store again!

I have a question for ...The apron card is a cutie!<br /><br />I have a question for you and Darren. I have a raised bed of strawberries. The plants are 3 years old and probably would be fine for another year or two, BUT the box was mainly filled with compost and it has sunk down to the extent that I need to add more. The current strawberry plants will put out lots of runners this summer (I am in the US and the berries are bearing now). How would you approach this? I hope to do this and still have a good season next year. Dig up the existing plants, add soil and replant them, replant with runners, OR? When should I do this, fall or spring? I have the idea that I'll get a better yield next year if I do it in the fall, but they aren't growing as actively then, and we sometimes get frost in September (although not usual). Can you please help, or at least share your thoughts?mikemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569666073239903588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-47904180667040451082021-06-20T00:54:09.815+10:002021-06-20T00:54:09.815+10:00You certainly do have abundance and... very shiny ...You certainly do have abundance and... very shiny pots.
