@scottfsmith I’m assuming this is the book you mean?

If anyone (@mrsg47, @fruitgrower, @Drew51 or others) have any of the following cultivars they would consider sending me runners for, I’d be happy to pay for them and/or for shipping - whatever you’d like.
White D pineberry
Rutgers Scarlet
Gariguette
Archer
I am in SoCal Zone 10 and for me, so far, Quinault has been by far the best producing and tasting strawberry.
I also have:
Seascape: ok to good sometimes. Not as consistent as Quinault.
Mara de Bois - new planting this year based on high praise here. No berries so far. These are in pots. Very excited.
Earliglow: same - bought plants this year and will be planting soon (to the edge of a raised bed) for next year.
Albion - painted this year in pots. Had a few berries that were tiny and ok and then massive numbers of runners. I’ve taken the runners off. Hoping to get more berries this year.
Sequoia: produced some berries that were ok to good. I felt like these went soft too fast. I am considering pulling these out.
I’m also wondering when approx folks put in their yearly orders for new plants from places like Nourse?
Also - do folks usually buy new plants each year, or extend their plantings for a while? Seems like @mrsg47 was suggesting that at least MdB produces much better the 2nd year?
I’m taking away that maybe I don’t need to replace all strawberry plants each year? Or should I, to increase production? At my scale (very small), cost is not really an issue. So it’s more about what’s easier and simpler and will give me more strawberries, consistently 
Thanks for the advice!
