Mine also taste much better this year. They were very watery and lacking flavour last year. I also seem to have a lot more of them and they're larger

When compared with last year's crop I've also noticed this about ours.

like strawberries

I only have last year to compare them with and they are def sweeter and tastier! (although last year was pretty rubbish so it would have to be better! )

I have picked a few Elsanta which are ok but nothing to rave about. I do like Gariguette though.  Mmmmmmmmmm    Mine have only just started cropping so hopefully lots more to come

I read this thread (and others) on strawberries and decided to give mine a seaweed feed to see if it would boost the flavour, as I thought they didn't have as nice a taste as previous years.


I fed them about a week ago and already they seem to taste better.  Could it happen that fast?  Do you think it is just wishful thinking?

Dont see why not if its a liquid feed, either that or you have just adjusted to the taste

Quick question. Any negative consequences of leaving strawberries on the plant to keep them fresh? I cannot put my finger on it, but I'm sure something is different in the taste.

I don't know, I've never managed to leave them on the plant


The odd one or two that get overlooked seem to be sweeter and softer and seedier.
