Strawberry problem

[shaz]

I have a strawberry barrel and they seem to be growing and flowering ok. Although I have noticed a few leaves with edges going brown and on some of the underneath there seems to be little ovel brownish parasites. I cant see any legs or anything. Are they eggs? if so how or what do I treat them with and what with.
Theres nothing else I can see on the plants so I dont know what they have come from

This is my first time at attempting strawberries any advice would be welcome.

Regards

Hope this works

it's really hard to see, but it looks like greenfly.

Brown edges on leaves can be caused by over- or under-watering.

I know it was a bit difficult to take photos close up with out the photos going blurry

I will pop into town and look for some treatment tomorrow

Thanks for your advice

Have you got a Macro button on your camera? (mine is marked with a Tulip button). You can get really close-up with that.

BTW, if it's greenfly, you don't need to buy treatment ... just squish the blighters in your fingers.
