They need the sun to send them red, you can pick them and place them on the window cill where the sun comes through and they will ripen on the window cill. lol sun if we should be so lucky.

They are Terratoonie -this is the first year for me to grow them

Richard they should get a runner on them if you cut the runner off it will produce larger strawberries, or let the runner go and it will form another little plant and hence two plants. I normally let it grow cut it away from the original plant and plant the little plant seperate.

I had a few spare pockets in the strawberry tub so pulled up some runners and planted them in there -don't think they have rooted yet though Morgana.
