Strawberries

[Jason Cartwright]

My strawberries are growing nicely. There are a couple that aren't.
Do i leave these or can i pick them off so that they don't take goodness from the others?

Thanks

J

Not sure what you mean Jason. Is it the plants that aren't growing nicely or individual fruit?

^ mmmm, I'm wondering too.

[Jason Cartwright]

Sorry. The individual fruits.
Lots are growing nicely, a few aren't.

But in what way aren't they growing nicely? Do you mean they are misshapen, or shrivelled, or going brown. or anything else?

Finally managed to take some pics.

This is what my trough looks like at mo. It has some Carrots and Beetroot growing (there is a story behind that)


This is a good looking strawberry (In my opinion as 1st time growing them)


These are a couple of bad looking ones. They look like they are covered in white powder.


This is what some of the 5 plants look like.

Thanks

Not sure if this is of any help. I would be tempted to remove & burn any diseased looking foliage. Mine have been eaten by ants this year but that's a whole different problem.
