Hi again,
I am having a second crop of my strawberries (Cambridge Favourite). The
fruit is quite large and healthy looking, but when I press the fruit it
feels a bit squashy, and doesn't have much of a strawberry smell. The
first crop in June was fine, I even made jam for the first time. Are
these second crop strawberries OK to eat.

What do you suppose might be harmful about them?

I don't think that they are harmful. They just don't look as appealing
as the first crop, and it got me wondering.

Hi Greenveg, yes, they will be fine but maybe not as much flavour as the
june crop ? Try sprinkling them with some balsamic vinegar, it will
maximise the flavour.

I decided to make jam with them, and when they started to boil, the
aroma of the strawberries came through. Thanks.
