Strawberry plants...keep or get rid
Our strawberry plants haven't flowered at all this year so no strawberries at all. This is ony their 2nd year and last year we had quite a good amount off them.
Are the plants effectively useless now and ready for the compost heap or should I keep them in the greenhouse over winter and give it another go next year?

It's normally recommended to get them out after 2/3 years so I'd go with new if you didn't take any runners?I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Are they in pots ?
Are they sending out runners
Are you sure they are only 2 year old ( this should have been a bumper year)
Can you spare the room in the green house.
Beaten to the question , will learn to type faster0 -
I don't keep mine in a greenhouse over winter, they take their chances outdoors in a sheltered spot. So far they seem to have survived.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
Strawberries do not need any protection over winter at all. However, they should have fruited this year. You could pot up the runners and plant these in the autumn if you want to.0
