What's wrong with my strawberries?
They were growing fine to start with, producing lovely plump strawberries but now they look like this! I have 3 different varities in one planter on my sunny south facing balcony, they get plenty of water and love.I've not changed what I'm doing to them so can only imagine it's a disease? What is it and how do i fix it?

Thanks!
Zoe

I know it sounds daft but it has probably got sunburn. Try and give them a bit of shade....

Could well be right there. At first I though poor pollination but the fruit isn't as malformed as that. Fragaria's in the wild are shade loving anyway.

Thanks I'll construct some shade for them tonight, fingers crossed! Z x
