Strawberries

Hey everyone;

 This is my first time growing strawberries.  I planted it last year, so this year they are starting to flower and produce berries.  However, I am noticing that the fruit is coming out a bit small.  They are ripening very nicely, and am able to pick berries just about every day between the 5 plants.  They are out in the garden with their own space, and I keep the adequately weeded and watered.  They also have access to full sunlight all day.  Is there anything I should be doing differently?  I have not fertilized them yet this year, so is that something I could do?  The weather has also been good down here the past couple of months (but I cover them at night if it gets below 50). Everything else in the garden is doing wonderful. Any suggestions are welcome! 

Love my furbaby :)Birthday
