I've heard that the only thing watering strawberries as they are ripening 
will do is shorten their storage life after they are picked.  I'm not 
confident in the reliability of my source (TV), but I did water mine as they 
got ripe and they were just fine this year.

Subject: [NAFEX] strawberry watering


Thanks to recommendations on this list we put in a batch of Sparkle 
strawberries. They are on their second year now and just starting to ripen. 
We havent had quite the rainfall I would like, and was going out to water, 
but some things aren't good to water as they are ripening, true for 
strawberries? Soak  'em?
(They are on heavy soil and straw so in no risk of shriveling up at this 
time.)
Thanks Del  N. MN.
