Hello there, Plant strawberries and feed and water well with Tommerite for tomato's. Some strawberries only produce once a year whilst others fruit more often. Good luck! If you don't have luck in the ground or in Pots, try Hanging baskets. I have them in baskets myself...........
The first year you won't get many as the plant is becoming established. Some like to pinch off first year growth to make the plants stronger. I have never done that, but I live in zone 9 where they are easy to grow. My strawberry patch is about 25 years old. See if these help at all.

do they grow well in your area? maybe your conditions are not right.
