Currants are really easy to propagate too - flowering and fruiting varieties

Yes - OH cut down out blackcurrnat bush rather unexectedly so I quickly cut a few twigs off and put them in the ground with no particular expectation.

14 out of 15 have rooted and survived and are now planted out in their final places.

Well - that's your answer

ooops, theyve been cooked!! theyre better off outside to root, just bring them in to force them in winter. you should get more runners yet.

Mine have sent out loads of runners. The bed is going to be overcrowded at this rate.

Yes - we've got loads of runners coming now and I have got about twelve in pots with more on the way. The rabbits decimated the plot AGAIN!!!!! but the strawberries seem remarkably resilient.

Have just given them a HUGE nemaslug treatment so hopefully we may get a few uneaten strawberries yet :-)

I am more interested in getting the runners potted on than the strawbs this year. Next year we are planning to start a HUGE strawberry patch from these strawberries
