All soil covered with plastic to keep strawberries clean. As so often in life, there is a natural way and a plastic / chemical way to grow food, plants of fruits. Here i n Trinidad we see most farmers using black plastic to cover all soil. First of all the plastic keeps the strawberries clean and away from soil, it also prevents other plants from growing, but at the same time the plastic destroys the natural balance of the soil and the healthy micro-organism a healthy soil needs!

Another yellow flower
Strawberry blossom is VERY frost sensitive! VERY !! One single frosty night will turn your beautifu l white blossom with the yellow center into a white flower with dark, black center. That is proof that your strawberry blossom is frozen and death = NO strawberries for one season.
I grew up in Switzerland and in central Europe it is common to have around mid May a few days of frosty nights. Hence during these annual weeks a daily weather forecast is needed. If frost is announced, then all strawberry plants need to be covered with straw before night and uncovered again next morning.
One single night with a few frosty below freezing hours is enough to destroy the complete harvest for an entire season. The very same btw applies also for wine yard. We happened to have both, wine and strawberries. both blossom about the same time in Europe, around mid May. Strawberry plants are covered, Wine get a "skirt" made of straw as protection for the night.
Once the strawberry bloom is over and all flowers have been successfully pollinated it takes another few weeks until the fruits become ready for harvest. These few weeks all plants need care and protection, else the harvest is either eaten by snails, birds or fouling in wet rainy soil.
