Propagating Strawberries

I had a go at propagating strawberries today. The runners have been, well running across the raised bed and heading for the blackcurrant bush so I thought I would stop them in their tracks.

Assuming I did it correctly, it was very easy... I filled small pots with compost, rested the new plants in the soil where I thought the roots would form and pinned them down using hair grips. So hopefully I have created 7 new plants.


A couple of the runners look like they are about to "sprout" again, if that's possible so I may even get some more.
