I bought this plant in the spring, but it was kinda cold out to put it out right away.. so I left it in the house. I put it in a really big pot.. it was tiny compared to the size of the pot. When it got warm, I sat it outside, and at first, it nearly died.. it must not have liked the temp. diff. from in to out. Anyways, it really took off, eventually, tho I never did get strawberries from it. It started looking good, late summer. So, should I leave it out over the winter, or bring it in, or what? I know, it's early.. but fall can be unpredictable.. just waiting for the frost to come, and it's still 90F during the day.

It takes two years for a young strawberry plant to give fruit. Overwinter it and replant the suckers that are growing off of it for more plants.

But, they *are* in a pot. I didn't want them to spread all over. Will being in a pot make it not so good to leave them out? Or still ok? (I ask because I know that potted plants usually have to be brought in, as they don't keep the temperature that being in the ground does.)

and I don't bring in any potted plant,
unless it's an annual or a bulb type like
a begonia..
Any of my perennials over winter outside,
on the ground and maybe some chopped leaves
and some good ole snow cover..

Snow cover is very important to perennials..
believe it or not, I"d love to have 3ft of snow
on top of all my perennials until March 15th..
and then a slow thaw til end of April..
*dream world here*

but snow is what keeps your plants from
dying in the winter...

It's when there's not alot of snow
and freezing below wind chill factors
that actually kill plants...

Snow is a great insulator..
