Look what a difference just 2 weeks makes in the life of your strawberry plants. After they have finished fruiting they must be completely pruned right down to the stumps in order to let the new growth start. The photo below was from my blog on 30th June, just 14 days ago.
A little nitrogen feed will encourage them to form new growth to nourish the crown for next year's crop. I leave my strawberries out during the Winter, sometimes protecting them with straw. Next Spring, tidy up the dying leaves and hey presto! It all happens again! Magic!
