=================================
Mine didn't die out or get crowded by weeds, but I didn't manage to
keep them organized. I planted several kinds of strawberries a fair
distance apart, but over the years they put out runners which put out
more runners and on and on until they got all mixed up.
Lon is quite right about strawberries needing care to keep
identified. I now have an allotment plot, and I planted only one kind
of strawberry on it.
