one of my favourite ways to eat strawberries is heated with a little balsamic and sugar. Serve with fresh chocolate mint and ice cream.

Dear Gardenate, Could you please advise why I have Yellow leaves growing in my strawberry plants and should I remove these? Many thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated. Kind regards Rosie

I have a raised garden bed of strawberries. I have lots of flowers and the fruit starts to form then they just shrivel up. The plants have been in a couple of years and look very healthy otherwise. Can you give me any clues why this happens?

I have a lot of strawberry plants which last year gave a good crop of fruit. This year they are only producing runners and leaves and little fruit. I have fed with a 'flower and fruit' fertiliser, added organic matter to the impoverished soil, and mulched. It has been very hot this summer in the Canberra region so I have tried to keep water up. Please, what am I doing wrong?

I bought a potted strawberry plant (no name). Since I planted it 6 months ago, it has thickened and "clumped" rather than put out runners. There have been lots of flowers, but the leaves are so thick and dense, the fruit shrivels before it gets ripe. The few that have made it to ripe are very flavoursome. Should I thin out the leaves to allow the fruit to see the light? Any ideas what the name of this strawberry is?

Try Bunnings, they usually have some hanging around for about $3 to $4
