It will give you some earlier fruits if nothing else, as long as pollinators can get in at the appropriate time It's always good to experiment a wee bit, especially if it's a new plant to you, or a new garden etc. Climactic conditions can make a big difference.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm very much a novice in the garden but strawberries are the one thing that have been growing in the garden since my first attempt at fruit and veg growing shortly after we moved in. From an initial two plants and the best part of 15 years of near total neglect, I had a dozen healthy plants when 'lockdown' commenced this year. They've been exposed to heavy snow, frozen ground, hot spells in direct sunlight and torrential rainfall. Previously unfed and largely unwatered, it's almost as if I've tried to kill them off
In the last 6 months, I've kept an eye on them and sorted out the runners. They were still supplying fruit (admittedly not a large harvest) and next year I'll have 20+ new plants in a fresh border (and the original dirty dozen that I'm loathe to get rid of).
@michelled932 I'd be amazed if yours couldn't survive the winter without any looking after whatsoever.
