I am a new gardener and would like to know about strawberries. I have plants in an old toilet bowl and they are setting runners after a very fruitful season. When can I shift them from this container? when can I plant out the runners? will they fruit as well as the parent plant? what is the best soil for them? I hope someone can help me with these questions.

Hey Colleen, congratulations on the creative thinking involved in container choice !!
There's an article on this site (under "Articles" in the Garden Shed) all about Strawberries.
Here's the link:-

It says that its best to move or propogate Stawberries in autumn/winter and you need rich soils with plenty of compost or humus added.
And don't forget to feed them well when they get going again in springtime.
