    It will be necessary to thin some of them out. If they overcrowd then they will compete for nutrients. Depending on the kind of miracle grow, usually I don't recommend using this. Especially if it is urea based, as this requires a certain microbe in the soil to break it down. If it is meant for strawberries, then I would say it is fine to use.

    Keep in mind that strawberries will require a dormancy in winter so they can regenerate and fruit properly.

    This should not be a problem. The pottery should be able to withstand, at least, the temperature that the strawberries can. You should be able to put this container outside over winter with no problem.

    You can cover strawberries when it's cold with plant covers or even light sheets.
    You need to uncover them as soon as the cold threat is over.

    You are well within their hardiness zone, and there isn't much that needs to be done. A blanket, or a pile of hay on the coldest nights will be plenty to keep it warm. In fact, they do much better when they are exposed to a decent amount of cold
    weather.

    I suggest putting inside in a window, and use a growing light. Try to give it as much sunlight as possible, and no fertilizer. Remember to water!!!

    I do think that the concrete containers are to blame. They will probably not allow for proper drainage, which is the primary cause for leather rot.

    It will be best to move them as you have proposed, and then treat them with A TABLESPOON of WETTABLE SULFUR and a HANDFUL of DOLOMITIC LIME per container also. This will help treat and prevent future fungal infections, as well as condition the soil.

    Alternatively, you can try spot sprays, and fungicides. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm

    As long as that is put into a stud, and not just into the outer layer of the wall, then you will be fine to hang it. As long as that is anchored into wood, it will hold the weight of the pot.
