Hi Jenny:
As I understand it, the reason some people say you shouldn't let
strawberries produce the first year is so the plants get fully
established before you begin to harvest. In my experience, it hasn't
made ANY difference in the health or longevity of the plants -- so I
let them produce the first year, and enjoy every berry the birds
don't get! Some plants don't make it through the winter here, but I
haven't found a correlation to whether they bore fruit or not. Hope
this helps.
Happy trails.....
