Hi,

Some leaves are white and curled.
New plants this year.
Any ideas why they are poorly?

Looks like Mildew to me.

Mildew flourishes if plants are on the dry side at the roots (any
plants, not just strawberries). Make sure they're well watered. More
information he http://tinyurl.com/p2fjtd7 Avoid chemical treatments
if you can, so as not to contaminate the fruit.


They also benefit from being in the open where the air is moving round
them. stagnant air is conducive to mildew.
