Hi
Another quick question. 
I am trying to grow some strawberries. Just a few plants from B and Q but it is my first time so a bit nervous. I want to do everything right!
The pretty flowers are appearing, is there anything I should be doing at this stage?

    Assuming there are plenty of drainage holes in that container, all you need to do is make sure they don't dry out , and give them a feed once a week with a soluble fertiliser high in phosphate, such as phostrogen or a tomato fertiliser.  If they are outside the bees will find them.  When they start to ripen the blackbirds will find them, so have some netting ready to keep them off then.
