a healthy strawberry plant in the Jentes garden June 3, 2005

another strawberry plant sending out “runners” June 3, 2005

a strawberry on July 4

Here is the strawberry plant that had 2 little runners on June 3. On July 4th here is that same plant. If you look closely there are 5 runners off this plant now. The two original ones are now …the one which has a new plant (fallen over) to the lower left of the picture & to the lower right (this runner continues off the picture).

Here is that original runner…that now has started 3 new plants…in one month
