If you have friends or nearby gardeners who can give you runners from plants that did well for them last year that's a good place to start. But you also need to get your bed right or you'll be no futher forward like.  :D And last year was a funny year to judge things on with the very dry weather.

I think D T Brown was where I got some Elegance strawbs. I have to say their flavour was really lovely and the plants were good quality.
