Strawberry Help....

I grew my strawberry plants from seed, this will be their third year. The berries are tiny. What am I lacking? The plants are beautiful, just teeny tiny berries. I bought them from Renee's Garden seeds and I'm 95% sure I picked a variety that was preferred for jams. I will have to do a LOT of picking at this rate!

The most common type of strawberry grown from seed is Alpine and they are naturally small. Takes a lot of picking to get anything but they sure are sweet! Had both red and yellow but lost all of mine last winter.
