Anyone have any idea what this could be here's a picture of the plant in question

You can see one of the brown leaves & the small amount of tiny strawberries to the right of that seem to be dying & you can see the small amount brown on the third strawberry from the right
Any advice welcome! |
Hi.
I too am also growing strawberries in a hanging basket.
The best advice that I can give u is to make sure that u give it a good feed about once a week using a good plant food such as Tomorite, Miracle gro or a special strawberry food.
Also, it is important that u check the soil everyday as the soil needs to be kept moist and keep out of full sun as this can scorch them and the strawberries will shrivel.
I hope this advice was of some help to u and wish u good luck.
