My cousin owns a strawberry farm near the coast in California where the weather is cool and damp. But there are a lot of farmers growing them in full sun in the Central Valley of California where summers are hot and dry.

Strawberry farmers replace their plants, keeping only the offsets, in early summer after the plants have produced this year's crop. Let the offsets grow roots then cut the stem connecting them to the parent plant. A hanging basket will keep the mice out but you will still have to fend off birds.

Nice to know they can last in different climates with the English weather being slightly temperamental haha. I think I will do what you just said and put them in baskets, I will have to think of a netting solution for the birds
