Strawberries flowering

[Richard Eldritch]

Do you gave a photo? I'm struggling to imagine what you're doing as have always left mine to their own devices. Ta.

I seperate the leaves from the flower stalks and then tie the leaves together in a loose bunch. This stops the leaves shading the fruit.

Never really found this a problem, maybe it depends on the variety.

I have about 5 strawberries developing at the minute I have four plants in an outdoor trough and they seem to be doing really well. Fed them tom feed yesterday and rub the flowers a couple of times a week to help pollination... Haven't removed any flowers though. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.
