How long does it take for green strawberries to turn red. I've got some strawberry plants in the greenhouse that have produced fruit, but they've been green for weeks on end and don't look like they're going to turn red at all. Is there anything I should be doing?

Esk. Light levels this year have been bad to say the least. Strawberries need sun to ripen and sweeten up. Stick with it, soon you'll be asking how to make a glut into jam.
