Ha.  My strawberries jumped out of their raised bed as well, and started 
rooting in the wood-chip-mulched paths between beds.  Not having the 
time to dig them up, I've been walking on them, but they've survived.  
Maybe I'll get a chance to dig them out before it freezes, and plant 
them somewhere that the deer can eat them in the spring...
