Hello, I'm somewhat new to harvesting strawberries. I recently planted about 30 plants. Since we have a fairly small backyard I wanted to try a planter of sorts. I ended up using a pvc planter. I mixed some Texas earth with some packaged topsoil and a little bit of manure. The plants look pretty healthy from my perspective. The reason I'm here though is the plants are already producing very small, shriveled up berries. These are new plants, should I be clipping these back and not worry about it? I don't know if maybe they need more water, maybe less sun as the the Texas heat is pretty hot. I planted two different types, both being a June bearing. I'm attaching a pic of them also if anybody might be able to offer some suggestions. Thanks!
