Thanks so much for your advice! :)
I got some bigger pots and they seem to be doing better now. I also pinched off a few of the flowers because I read somewhere that that would make the plant produce more strawberries so hopefully I didn't hurt it haha

I've grown the Ozark beauty and if I remember right they are a mid season producer and not an everbearing.variety.
The only reason I'm not doing it now is it's too much up and down for these old bones

Pinching off the blossoms is just cutting down on the strawberries you are going to get. Pinching off blossoms will make the plant get bigger but it won't produce more strawberries.

Strawberries produce best the second year. When I grew them I had 2 plots. In spring I'd cut off the runners and plant them. I'd get a few berries from the runners but the most plants from the year before plants. After they stopped producing I'd mow off the tops of the old plants, dig them out and prepare the soil for the next year.

I don't know about pots because I never used them but a raised bed and bird netting should solve the problem of birds--it did for me. critter ridder around the outside of the bed should take care of the animals

I grow Ozark Beauties too. They are everbearing unless I am very much misremembering. :)

I agree that pinching blossoms will cause the plants to grow bigger while reducing strawberry numbers. But bigger plants can grow more strawberries later. So I think it's really a question of what you want--fewer strawberries now or more later.

Pots are fine for strawberries too. No special pots are needed. Basically any pot is just a container full of dirt. That's true regardless of whether they call it a special strawberry pot or not. My plants are all in a raised bed outside, but I will be putting some of the runners (yes, plural) from my plant into a big bowl this year.

Runners are a fact of life with strawberries too. Ozark Beauties produce runners prolifically. I think last year I got a big harvest, followed by runners, and even some runners from the runners, followed by more fruit that the raccoons ate. There's nothing wrong with runners; they are perfectly natural. They are just baby plants that grow from the mother connected by an umbilical. I like them because I end up propagating the plants a lot. See above about my plans for a big bowl. I also end up giving away strawberry plants. Taking runners is a lot easier than growing from seed. But if you don't want more plants, just clip the runners off. That will make the plant focus on itself--resulting in a bigger plant and bigger berries.

Sorry for the late reply and thank you all for your great advice! :)

Both of my strawberry plants seem to be doing well. The Quinault has started producing a lot more berries than from when I first bought it and some are even starting to turn pink :) The Ozark is doing well, but it only has about 2 berries so far so hopefully more will come soon.

I do have some more questions though haha
--On my Quinault, some of the edges of the leaves are turning brown. Am I watering it too much?
--I've never used Critter Ridder and this is probably a really stupid question lol but do I spray it just around my garden or onto the actual plant?
--I read somewhere that if you put sugar in the soil of your strawberry plant that it will make the berries sweeter. Has anybody here tried that and if so how much sugar did you put in the soil?
Thanks! :)

The sugar in the soil will just attract ants. The trick to having ripe strawberries is to let them ripen o the vine. They won't get sweeter after you pick them. Have fun with your berries!
