    Those foto's look really good. You really captured the plants and that lovely strawb just right. I can see why you gobbled it right up. How was the flavour?
    I have to say that the leaves are not looking as well as I would like to see.

    Sjoerd, I took your advice and I massacred my strawberries yesterday, leaving only healthy looking leaves and the new growth, good tip.

    Way to go Odif--- Chapeau.

    Not everyone can be so strong-willed. When I do things like that I always cringe and feel bad about it for a few days... until one day, I begin seeing improvement in the plants. I mean, I know it is the right thing to do, but it is still difficult to man-up and begin the barbering.

    I cleaned-up my strawbs earlier in the spring and will give them a severe haircut in the early fall. I actually spend quite a bit of time on my strawbs.

    Good luck with your plants, mate.
