I have strawberries in my tunnel - looking very well

What I wonder is this; how much water should I give them when they're flowering and fruiting? I kept the very dry over the winter, then, sort of, watered them into growth. Should I water more or less now they are setting fruit.

i stick a lawn sprinkler in one end of the tunnel for half an hour , then do the other end, from now on it will be done once a week, usually sometime over the weekend. if its really hot midsummer it may need doing midweek as well. duration can be varied to suit the weather. i think a good soak once a week is better than frequent dribbles.
