    Hi guys
    In brief this is my first yr with my greenhouse , I have split and moved last yeears strawberries into new pots now in my greenhouse,
    They are doing really well , now with plenty of flowers but us this too early? Should I remove the flowers until it warms up?

    No not really too early Glenfish.....mine here are heavily laden with flowers:)
    However, since yours are recently divided and potted I would take off the flowers and feed the plants. This will help build up good fruiting plants for next year. if they flower again in a few weeks I would then be tempted to allow them to fruit :)

      Here’s an update
      The plants have continued to grow and look great , I left the flowers on one plant which produced a little fruit,
      Q: The other plants didn’t flower again , am I correct in thinking that they are building strength and volume and will fruit next yr?
