Yes - our strawberry plants are still producing fruit, and there are more flowers out, and fruit ripening. Had a few today with breakfast. :D

They are out in the elements too - no greenhouses or shelter.

Not just you - lady at work (Northants) said she was surprised to stumble across a second crop in her garden. Totally ripe. Bonus crop is a bonus.

Only two crops? These plants have been perpetually producing fruit since the summer. They have also been putting out runners, which mean more plants next year. We also invested in more, so we should have a whole stack of strawberries next umber and beyond :-)

I'm a bit jealous actually. In Scotland we had wild alpine strawb's that grew like a weed in the garden. Tiny, but oh so delicious.
