I knew that they wouldn't be croppale this year - just liek
strawberries. Hate having to be patient, but there you go. As an
update, one is not definitely budding away nicely, but the same parts
of the other one appear to have gone black and hard... Problem?

Possible problem - I would expect there to be some sign of a swelling bud.

Depends on the variety. Some of mine are still pretty dormant while on
others the buds are beginning to swell.
