mothers and daughters

the first two daughter plants i pinned down in the strawberry bed have taken root well enough that i could cut the umbilical stolon and set them off on their own...we have eight daughter plants now and room for four more which will give us twenty-four plants in the bed...any more just won't fit so it is time for human intervention in the garden...again... i had five daughter plants pinned in pots for eventual removal and one was ready to go out on its own today...it's on my front porch right now and if anyone wants to start a strawberry bed let me know...like all perennials they are aggressive about colonizing space so one plant will doubtlessly lead to others ( as the bottom photo so graphically shows )...it isn't about growing the plants so much as controlling them.
