Those suckers are TOUGH!<BR/><BR/>Should I tell you what I do with my strawberry runners?<BR/><BR/>Umm...nothing. I just let them wander where they will. I could be all scientific about it, but really, who cares enough to do that? If I can't even manage to tie up my danged tomato plants, I'm not likely to do anything useful to strawberry runners. : ) Strawberries taste just fine no matter what you do with the runners.<BR/><BR/>I'm waiting for my box of peaches to come in.

I should note, however, that I have already added it to my list of books to order from the library. This is necessary in order to leave for two weeks of vacation with one or possibly, two, full book bags. (Can I get it by August 9th???) I make a list all year long, and then do a reading rampage in the summer.<BR/><BR/>Granted, my kids are all older now, so I don't have to watch them at the lake. And I assign teams of two to split up all the chores, like dishes and such. I basically cook the meals, let someone else cook the meals, and READ FOR TWO SOLID WEEKS!!!
