Overwintering strawberries

I know it is a little early, but I have to plan ahead. I am growing strawberries for the first time. They are doing very well. Great plants! I am growing them in pots on a stand my husband built. I know they can be left in the ground to come back, but not in pots. We do not have a place where we want to grow them in the ground. I am assuming they need to go dormant in winter. I have a greenhouse, but i did not think they need to be "awake" all winter. Any ideas? This pic was taken in May and they are much bigger now with runners to the ground.

My strawberries are green all year
Happy gardening

Mine are green all year as well. No fencing tho around mine- bunny food if yours are bad. aYou are in Brazoria Co? Doubt very very seriously you will freeze deep enough there to do anything except make em happy. May have to block northers winds, but strawberries like snow...

Drthor,
I tried growing some strawberries but they dried up. Are yours in pots or in the ground and what amount of sun? I am trying to find some edibles that aren't hard to grow.

I have June-bearing strawberries planted in earthboxes in their third year and this was the best year so far. That isn't supposed to happen, since they are supposed to succumb to viruses spread by aphids. I never grow everbearers because they are more aptly called neverbearers, at least in my experience.

I don't remember the variety of strawberry I bought from NHG. It was years ago.
I planted in between my rocks in the edges of by flower beds. They are in full sun and they also have reflections from the stone path in the front. Right now they are in afternoon shade because I have the sunflowers on top of them. They are doing great and sending out a lot of runners.
If I had room I would dedicate a private bed just for them like NHG does.
have you ever seen NHG strawberry bed?
It is in the back, by their display garden. I love to go there in the spring and eat their strawberries ... fresh from the plants.

Thank you for the replies. I forgot I posted this and was fixing to ask this same question.

My strawberries are in pots above the ground. I understand that if they are above ground they won't come back in the spring. I have a greenhouse, but what I really want to know is if they have to go dormant? They are the everbearing and have been producing strawberries all summer. They are still going strong.

I also have a coldframe. I don't know if either one is ok for them or not since I am wondering if they have to go dormant. If they do, any ideas on how to do this without putting them in the ground?

Oh, and I am in Rains county. It is east of Dallas, West of Tyler, and north of Canton.

No dormancy needed- it would be in hottest summer/fall if they did go dormant. They will look lousy awhile til the cool weather returns- but even up in Okla they stay green. The type they are is mostly the fruit bearing tendencies. One bears once only, another bears a couple of times for a couple of months. Ground planted ones we always had on the south side of a bldg and planted on a mound of 'sawdust'. Protect from wind above ground and they should do ok with south sun. That area has tree cover which keeps the temps a bit warmer than the plains area around Rockwall to your north west...
