Strawberry taste
Hi,
Just wondering... Is there anyway to improve the flavour, in particular the sweetness of strawberries? Mine are growing in pots, in full sun, but the first few are quite sharp. I admit most are the perpetual variety and are prone to lesser flavour. Cheers Ed |

Strawberry taste
Ed,
Perpetual strawberries often have a strong flavour. To boost their flavour you could increase the amount of light coming to the plant by placing a reflective mulch under the plants. Ken Muir sells a woven membrane that is foil coated which is said to improve sweetness. In glass houses, a white polythene is used for tomatoes for a similar effect.
