Handfuls of joy
Finally: I've cracked it! I have enough strawberry plants to be able to pick - and eat - an entire handful of strawberries in one go! Completely fabulous and delicious, but don't ask me what variety they are because I have so many different ones now that I've forgotten what is planted where. Many of the backyard strawberries suffered in today's 33+ degree Celsius heat - they are always the first plants to swoon dramatically the moment it gets to 25c - but the plants out the front have been in the longest, are the best mulched and must be the best established because they look just fine. Woohoo!

So how many plants is enough?
I think you need at least 30 plants. Out the front I have over 20, about half of which are producing well right now. Out the back I have over 50, I think (some recently planted and small) but less than 10 of those have fruit at the moment.
i need both more sun and more plants then!
