I planted these strawberries as bare root plugs and i have been clipping everything coming up except the leaves. They are at the point where I want to let them flower but I still want to clip the runners. In the picture below is that a runner or a flower? Any help will be appreciated.

We usually just let the plants get on with it. Leave them alone and you may get some strawberries out of them - if you keep cutting all the bits off as soon as they emerge you will never see any fruit at all.

Thanks for the reply Tetters. That's the plan for now but I still want to remove the runners. The growing season is so short in canada that I want the energy of the plant to go to the roots, shoots and flowers.

Well then, I reckon (what grannie used to say) if in doubt - don't !! Wait until you're sure.
