Mixing strawberry varieties in same bed

Is it a problem to plant different strawberry varieties within the same bed?  Will fruit development be affected by being pollinated from a mixture of plant varieties?

I hope not :D, I haven't a clue what mine are but they are various varieties cropping at different times.

Cross-pollination will only affect the genetics of the seeds, not the berries themselves, so no problem at all.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
