The strawberries on my patio seem to have ground to a halt. Through april they were storming ahead with growth and a few flowers, but now we're in May nothing seems to be happening - a reasonable number of flowers but they've gone back to being dormant.

My alpines are pruducing fruit but they seem to have slowed alot too. Might be the sudden drop in temperature gale force winds and heavy rain non stop.........
spotted strawberries in the farm shop today - they were their own. I think they do have a couple of polytunnels, but they do a huge market in PYO so I don't think the Oxfordshire countryside will be decimated by polytunnels.
We ate the first from our own polytunnel last week. The outdoor ones have taken a heavy battering from rain, hail, frost & wind over the last week though.
