Mine have been tormenting me for weeks but nothing ready to pick yet :(
Weirdly, my strawberries that came in plastic pots and went straight in the ground have loads of flowers and some fruit, but the ones that were in peat pots seem to have hardly grown. All planted at the same time and were the same size, can only assume that the peat pots are slowing down the root growth somehow.
And here it is along with a couple more.

Picked a carrier bag full today, then had to go up town to Lakeland to buy 3 boxes of jam jars.

That's what happens when I let my kids loose over my plot. Very few strawberries make it half way up the path let alone home.
mine are still green at the moment.
Mine are green and so am I (with strawberry envy ;) )

Maybe they are too dry? I find peat pots tricky to keep just right (either too dry or too wet), maybe take them out of them ?

yep still green up here and I know what you mean about kids nicking them before they get home, they do it with the peas as well. Have had to grow double the amount of peas this year so we may actually get some on our plate.
Mine still green,thought with all this sun thay would be red by now :(
