Strawberry failure

I've never had any problems with strawberries but this we had what looked like a cracking crop this year (2 year old plants) but as they ripened they all fell off, I recon we got about 12 berries from a plot about 3m * 2m! I can only think botrytus, but these fruits fell off before they rippened so there were none to pick?

 

Oh blimey, pollination failure?

 

Fell off, or nipped off by mice gnawing through the stems and leaving them on the ground? That's what had happend to my strawberries last year when I found loads of them lying (detached, but healthy looking) on the ground.

 

Pollination was fine we had loads of fruits some half ripened. Could be rodents we have seem to have a mouse and vole sactuary! I'll have a more forensic look!

 

Aww, feel for you

I have some alpine strawberries, which I never planted but, are thriving the past year and this.

 

I went round and had a look this morning, nothing obvious Could be malicious fairies.

Ta for the tea Dan Lovely Garden you'm got there
