Hubby and I were walking lowes yesterday and came home with two pots of reduce priced strawberry plants. They are a bit wind beaten from the hectic weather last week. We didnt think much about it until we started making plans to get them into the cleared out raised bed in the back yard. With a little more thought we both realized that the plants are awfully tall. This is enough for the doubt to set in with me. I cant tell if these are runners or not. I dont know if I should trim them back/plant them deeper/let them just fall over/should I split up the roots /blah blah blah.

Interestingly enough, an hour after coming home my friend stopped by to gift me with more strawberry plants last night. This morning they look to be in shock.

As much as I would love to start putting them to bed, I need some advice from you all here on the best way to handle them. I am including some pictures so that you can see what I am speaking of. 1 and 2 are the first plant, 3 and 4 are the second plant and the last is the little container my friend dropped off.
