What is your location? Have you tried any other day neutral varieties? They have some strawberry farms in Poteet Texas and last year I sampled Sweet Ann, Cabrillo, Seascape, Monterey, along with some June bearing varieties like Chandler, Ruby June, and Fronteras. I grew Festival in my garden though mites destroyed most of the plants. Me and my daughter thought Albion, Ruby June and Festival were they best tasting out of all of them.

I'm located in Kentucky. Over the years I've grown all of the older standard June bearing varieties and also grew tribute and Tristar just after they were released. The 2 day nutrals didn't impress me in any way. Erliglo was my favorite of all tried until Seascape. Only fault with erliglo was the fast decline in fruit size.

I get a massive, fragrant harvest from Seascape produced on large healthy plants that produce over one of the longest periods I have ever seen in any strawberry. The flavor definitely lags a little at the beginning of production, but that really shines as season progresses and days get longer. The fruit is blood red all the way through, and one of the easiest berries to clean I've came across.

@Wildcat82 check out Hoss Tools - my order is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Looks like they still have some for sale.

Thanks for the tip. I've planted Chandlers before but wasn't real impressed with the flavor. Maybe they do better in your location. Post your opinion on their flavor this next spring. I'm curious what you think.
