    Hi Su. It depends what you have put down already. Normally you are not supposed to feed strawberries at this time of year as it encourages too much leaf. If you didn't put any fertlizer earlier in the spring then you could apply something high in potash right now, tomato feed is ideal. :gnthb:

    I feed my strawberries as the flowers begin to go over, and as strawberries develop at different times according to the actual plant I think this is the best way of being sure. Good dollops of tomato feed just like John says is the best food for them.


    Enjoy them, I can't wait for mine.
