You want to start feeding for flavour just as the flowers begin to show. The fruits will set and already be present in a very juvenile stage just a few days later so you want to make sure the plant is already taking up that lovely potassium rich feed right at the start as the fruits begin to swell.
Apply once again 2 weeks later, and again 2 weeks after that. This same feed can be applied to plants grown in containers or growbags too. It is important that you select a balanced NPK fertilizer, or growmore, to feed the plants for growth and health, early in the season, and after the plants have finished fruiting, to buold strength in the plant for next year.
In order that the plants effectively take up the nutrients, convert the sunlight into sugars, and are able to swell the berries to their optimum sizes, the plants must never even think of drying out. This is especially important if you have as I suggested been able to give the plants a position with maximum sun exposure.
The area around the plants will be free of debris and open, and that baking sun will soon dry things out alarmingly quickly. You must counteract this with regular and ample watering. Soak the soil around the base of the plant with a watering can, preferably early in the morning, or in the evening.
Take care not to splash the fruits with mud. This should be done daily if it has not rained, until the fruits are fully formed. Now you have ensured your strawberries are not only sweet and well flavoured, but plumpalicious too! The berries may be colouring up but if they are too pale or not coloured evenly then it is too soon.
They may still be a little sour. Conversely, berries that have been hanging on the plant for too long in the hot sun, and become too dark in colour, will have a flavour that has become wine-like, overbaked. I find they are still quite edible like that but hardly at their peak of perfection.
Save them for jam making, or a pie perhaps. The fruits should be evenly coloured, a good bright red — only then are they perfect for eating. Of course probably the single most influential factor in determining the taste of your crop is still that of variety choice.
You can make a poorly tasting variety more palatable by employing these growing techniques, but it may never attain perfection.
