Anyone here know anything about Strawberries?

I have a "cabin" out in BC, where i'm staying right now, that has HUGE amounts of fruit. Peaches, pears, grapes, rasperries, apricots, strawberries... you name it! Most of the fruit is flourishing, except for the little strawberries.

In fact, I KNOW they're strawberries because I saw little ones when I first arrived. But now, i'm positive they're almost all dead.

Can somebody help me save these little fruits?

Here are some pictures:

The Containment



Nice and dead



There are a few different types of plants in the containment... some smell minty, some have blossoms, and some look like large clovers





Thanks guys.

They are getting either too much or too little water. How is the drainage? Is this the first season for them? Sometimes they wont do well the first year.

I'd get the bigger junk out of there. Pull those saplings out and a good watering, adding fertilizer to the soil should perk them up. Looks like they got too little water by the brown leaves, but i do see a little strawberry on one of them.
