I planted 50 strwberry plants last year and they are all still doing good and producing a lot of berries, but how do I get some size to them? Will it occur over time, or is them some cool stuff I can amend in the soil to get big berries?

Compost,and a good Mulch,lots of water after the plants bloom. Just like a pumpkin....

Variety also matters greatly some of the new ones out there produce strawberries the size of a plum. I prefer the medium sized ones with flavor.

We didnt have much rain in our neck of the woods. normally we get about 200 quarts, this year we will end up with about 120. Berries were just smaller without the rain.
