I have a strawberry planter that I planted with last years runners, plenty green leaves and looks very healthy but has not had any fruit. Should I expect it in the first year?
Agree - if runners have good roots and are planted before about September then they will usually give a small crop following June but if planted much later you usually need to wait a year.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

I wouldn't expect a crop on first year runners. You will get a good crop of fruit next year though, as you have healthy growth of leaves.
Thanks forester I Was going to compost them
