Our greenhouse ones are pretty tasty at the moment but the outdoor ones are a couple of weeks away.

My outdoor ones are ripening nicely. Been collecting a bowl full every day

You have to be quick though or something (birds, slugs, not sure what?!) takes scoops out of them!

If you net them birds can't get them.

Scottish strawberries are bitter, shrivelled and twisted.

English strawberries are plump, sweet, and juicy.

Better chance than your 16-pack anyway.

Scoops will be by slugs/snails. If you have a lot of straw under the plants that should help deter them.
