Hi and welcome! I hope your pretty fairy doesn't mind muddy hands....
Depends if you want to grow more strawberries. I f you don't give the plants to someone else.
If you want more, then leave the runners attached for awhile and make a new row so that you know which are the new plants and which are the old. Next year you can choose some more runners, then you will have 3 rows. After that dispose of the oldest plants each year after fruiting to prevent viruses etc from becoming established.
I put my runners straight into the soil in their new position .

 

im sure i saw you on a tv program last week or the week before ? have you ever had a film crew in ? as that looks so familiar ? ? ?
