You can plant runners in hanging baskets but must make sure to water and feed them when in growth because a hanging basket has limited root space.
The foliage of strawberry plants should be cut away after cropping in late summer and the leaves allowed to sprout again and stay in place for winter.
If these plants are in the tunnel, they should be kept just moist over winter.
