Saw the BBC new southeast earlier and the strawberries have loads of leaves and not much fruit due to the dire weather this year.

I now cut off all Strawberry foliage in Jan/Feb. That stops too much foliage and gives light for the fruit as well as extending the life of the plant.

Have you been feeding them a high nitrogen fertiliser? If so change to potash once they start flowering. (Tomato fertiiser is good)
Don't know if you can have too many leaves but wouldn't have thought so.
