What's normal?

The strawberries in my balcony are certainly doing well.  More and more berries are forming and some are already very ripe and red.  I love going to the balcony to look at their growth.  The pretty white flowers bloom for a few days and then wither.  Then, in their place, tiny berries would grow.  The berries would slowly grow bigger and when they have grown big enough, they would slowly start to turn red.  I love when they are red.  They really look like jewels.  I can see them even when I'm sitting on my sofa in the living room.  So pretty.

But not all of the berries look like the normal strawberries that I would usually buy from the supermarket.  The berries in my balcony are smaller and they are all of different shapes.  Some are really tiny.  They look like they are going to grow bigger but they stay tiny, like buds, and they go from green to red.  Some are a bit bigger but they are still much much smaller than a normal berry.

I am worried about such berries.  There is one plant that has a number of such berries.  I wonder why they grow like that.  In another plant, all of the berries look normal.  And in another plant, some leaves have turned brown and the buds have not grown at all.  It's strange that I get different results from the different plants even through I gave them the same amount of water and sunlight.  This is the first time I'm growing strawberries so maybe I'm a bit anxious.

Here are the weird shapes of my strawberries...

I harvested a small batch of the ripest, reddest berries today and shared them with Pete.  The reddest ones were more likely to be sweet while the ones that were not as red were sour.  But sweet or sour, they were really nice, juicy and fresh.   We only took less than a minute to finish them.
