I have a patch of about 9 strawberry plants. One afternoon half of these plants had lost all or most of their leaves and most petioles where cut in half. These plants were healthy the evening before and had burgeoning fruits. What happened? Can it be slugs? Birds?
I have lost several plants this year due to a white substance the looks and feels like concrete, what is it and how do I treat for it. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

My strawberry plants are full of lush green leaves and quite a few baby berries. They’re not ripening much though. I get 4-5 berries when I go to pick them that are ripe. Why is this occurring?!
One of my plants died 2 years ago and since then my one remaining plant does not produce berries. Must I have more than one plant?
