del,  strawberries are basically sunshine and water - - the plants need
abundant water always,  but especially as they size to ripness -  - 1" twice
a week is in the range,  tho soil types play into this - sandy soil,  1/2"
four times a week would be better - water mid morning to mid afternoon so
foliage/berries dry off quickly - soak 'em - but not sodden...
