Underlaying dry straw or grass to protect strawberries from fouling. Strawberries are easily fouling when nearing the dark red ripe stage. A rainy day wet soil from irrigation may cause strawberries to foul. Hence there is a need to keep the fru its away from soil, either with a layer of clean low grass or straw as practiced here in this photo.
As long as the strawberry is green or partially green, the fruits easily survives rain or wet condition. In the final 2-3 days before harvest however the strawberry turns into a a very fragile fruit.
The dark red ones are ready for harvest NOW, the other one with the greenish tip still needs another 2-3 days.
Strawberry fields need to be harvested every day during harvest season. One single day too late may either surrender a ripe fruit to snails or fouling.

DCF 1.0
Best in show was awarded to Matthew Soper of Hampshire Carnivorous Plants and he was delighted.
"This is a very special year, not only because of this award at Tatton Park but it means we have won ten consecutive golds at Chelsea, ten at Hampton Court, ten at BBC Gardeners' World Live and now ten at Tatton Park and best in show. I couldn't be more pleased, it's fantastic!" Well done to Matthew. I couldn't mention the floral marquee again without letting you know how Medwyn Williams got on. Well, his gold medal record is as unblemished as his prize winning vegetables; another gold for Medwyn and an unbroken record. And to top it off the sun is shining! I'm really not used to this at a flower show, I might have to go and have a lie down. In the sun. With an ice cream perhaps... Info from:
