I do agree with Star. Strawberries do not like to be overwatered. Last year's record rainfalls did our strawberries in. I fixed that problem this year though.

I planted 3 Texas Wild tomato plants in their place They're both small red fruits.
Oh no, Robert! Your poor tomatoes! It's easy to do, though. I'm bound and determined to successfully grow at least one good strawberry this year (we got three from the plant that died last year but they were teeny weeny and not good at all ), so hopefully letting the plants dry out a bit will do them good. I knew we shouldn't have watered this weekend with how humid and moist it was outside, but I'd planted some seeds so all the plants got a drink anyway. Oh well, I'm glad I've got friends here to help me learn from our mistakes!
