Why are my All Star strawberries mushy?


Hello everyone,

I have a significant strawberry patch and I’ve been blessed with copious strawberries this year. They are all star strawberries, they’re big, red and look ready to eat. That said, if you give them a slight squeeze or try and cut through them they immediately turn to mush/apple sauce. The flavor is still good and the skins are blemish free/ no visible pests or anything.

Question i have to ask, why are they mushy? They are definitely ripe and ready to pick. We’ve had a very wet Spring in my part of the world (Central Canada).

On the other side of the bed I have some Fort Laramie that just produced their first fruit. I just harvested them, and they were firm to the touch as you’d expect.

Any ideas?
