Have a garden bed full of strawberry plants,not sure where to go from here,New to sub tropics. .Don't imagine they will go dormant? How many seasons can I expect from a plant ?

A new plant will usually give good fruit for 3 or 4 years. Remember, though, that the runners are the same age as the parent plant. I made the mistake of mixing old plants with new in my bed and now that it's heading towards time to start culling them for overwintering, it's a bit of a pain and I'm tempted to pull the lot and start again in a few months with all new plants.
