my dad has them and just keep an eye on them. when all almost red.. they should be fine
I know what you mean. I can never tell what time it is without a clock, so I set my alarm.

I find that with all soft fruit, I just need to watch the blackbird - you know it's ready when he moves in.
Better to pick strawbs a day early than a day late - they will continue to ripen in the house
I wait until they are completely red. Seems like after that, they get dark quickly and are mushy.
when the farmers not looking!
I have some in my garden but in a strawberry tub. I pick them when they are in the very pink stage with their stalks on. They will carry on ripening if left in a container on a sunny window ledge. You can then transfer them into the fridge when ripe. This allows you to collect a fair few, enough for a desert! To keep birds from pecking at them use a fine net over the plant. Good Luck.
When they're red.
you will notice in colour that they will not have any white or green bits on them and will be pure red and jucy. this is the best time to pick them
