Sour strawberries
Discussion
Growing help required!
My daughter loves strawberries, so I decided to grow some in the garden for her (and also to keep me entertained for a while). The plants are healthy and I am getting a reasonable harvest every 2-3 days, but sadly they all taste sour! Really disappointed as I thought home grown would taste better!
All potted in a long rectangle tray and kept in a stand.
Watered daily in the late afternoon/evening.
Feed once a week with tomato feed.
Located at a sunny spot (until 2pm when the sun goes round) of the garden.
Mix of Roman, Toscana, Elan and Loran strawberry plants.
Is there anything I am missing which can help to improve the taste before I resort back to buying supermarket strawberries?

Strawberries are slightly 'tart'.
Remember the good old days of pick you own?
One in the basket, 3 eaten unwashed off the plant.
The crap you buy in supermarkets are coated in sweeteners.
I've tried to wash it off with soap, but its bound to the surface like s
t to a blanket, along with a vast array of toxic insecticides.
Come the revolution, after the commies, the food industry kents are going up against the wall.
