I have a large strawberry patch filled with everbearers and day
                 neutrals--all planted in April.  I removed all the 
flowers from the first
                 flush in late May and have snapped off runners, too, 
forcing multiple crown
                 production.  The technique worked great, and now I am 
being rewarded with a
                 full bed of huge plants that are flowering like crazy 
and setting fruit. 

My reply:

Huh, what do you want multiple crowns for again?  Do they improve your 
production?   When I renovate my beds I usually cut off the multiple 
crowns and push the old crowns a bit deeper.  Otherwise things seem s 
a bit crowded.   But I am open to knew ideas.
