Ric--
I have some Strawberries I started last spring in a small bed on the E. side of my shed.
I did have straw under them--which is now mostly gone. Some of it is on top of them too--
but very thin. How thick a layer of straw should I put underneath them?

What should I be doing right now to help them grow and fruit? Should I fertilize them? With what?

They are green-and starting to grow. Should I re-locate some of the runners or let them be?
I know they fruit on the new runners--right? What about the 1year old plants?

I want some berries this year.................Wahhh....Wahhh...... Gita

Here is the Strawberry patch....The beams are part of what the shed is built upon.
It is an "A"-shaped, Challet type of a shed. I am sure you have seen pictures of it?
