they seem to be growing in a funny shape. they are getting plenty of water. (too much maybe?)
pic here of the most recent ones. but they all look like that.

aah sweet brand new baby too.

I suspect these are ALPINE strawberries, in which case they are supposed to look like this. they can taste fab but they can taste of nothing at all.

Did you buy them or plant them yourself?

They do look wierd. Mine are being eaten as quick as they ripen by woodlice - yes woodlice! I have found them in 'situ' in holes they have eaten out of strawberries
