Could you please tell me what type of strawberries these are? I'm ground zero on strawberries--never tried to grow them, so any info would be appreciated. I understand there are Day-Neutral, Everbearer and Junebearer.

These little buggers look pretty healthy to me, except just now when I took the picture, I notice there's some browning around the leaves on two of them. What's that about? And the cure? I've tried to let them dry out a bit before watering. Is that good?

From what I read, these plants don't die out, but bear year after year, putting out new runners. Please explain.

Ok, strawberry person--I'm counting on you!

One more thing--I'm planning to put these in my regular garden plot as soon as I get the squash vines pulled out and do a little weeding there. It seems all of a sudden the squash bugs just took over, after I was able to control them all summer by dusting with Sevin every couple of weeks and squishing the few of them I would see. I notice some of the vines I've checked have the eggs under the leaves as well as something that looks sort of like the white flies I had on my hibiscus one time. I'll rake all the old plants up and discard, but will any remaining bugs in the dirt bother the strawberries?
