When should I expect strawberries to bear fruit? I have a couple of plants in a greenhouse and they have flowers but no sign of fruit. The blooms have been on the plants for about two weeks. Do I need to move them out of the greenhouse for pollination?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for posting a question!
Yes, I would get the plants out of the greenhouse and into the sunshine where the bees can do their thing. I've tried "forced pollination" with other plants before…take a Q Tip and wiggle gently in flower, then put in another flower of another plant…technically, that's what the bees do!
Good Luck and I'd love to see pics of your garden and results with your berries…
