Strawberry leaf problem

The wind is pretty nippy- wind chilled then?
How old are the plants?
Strawberries are exceptionally hardy- have they been indoors all winter?
If so , they will take a while to harden off- but don't worry- new growth will come from the crown ( centre)
I've yet to chop off all my dead leaves from my outdoor plants- and will just be left with what looks like a nobble of dead 'stuff'- until the new growth bursts forth!"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

It could be last year's leaf. They get a bit raddled by the weather but they will be replaced by new ones. Never heed!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

i know what the more experienced grapes mean it does look like normal winter type cold/frost damage but when you look at the pic enlarged is it on the new growth? its hard to tell from pics but the old leaves are usually really really dark green and when the new leaves come it they are much lighter.....straws are really hardy as a rule and i honestly have never managed to kill one yet! i tend to just use a general fertiliser on mine with moisure retaining compost and tomato feed later on. Do you usually use this compost/feed mix? I have read on here that you can damage roots with certain of the granulated fertilisers or manure which has not been rotted enough....this might show in the leaves? sorry i have only been growing stuff for 4yrs its just a thought
