Next year I would like to extend my strawberry harvest, can anyone recommend good, reliable, and fairly disease resistant early, mid, and late varieties please?

They once did a tasting test on Beechgrove the results might still be on their website. Not been there for ages so things mine have changed.

I’ll be watching this thread with interest. I’d like a couple more varieties. I have a pink flowering one that is starting to fruit now ( apparently a very nice flavour, I don’t eat them, horrible things). Unfortunately I can’t tell you variety. The lady I got it off seems to have a pathological hatred of plant labels  Rolleyes . Throws them out as soon as the plant gets home.

Last year I bought a mix of early,mid season and late bare rooted plants. Cool This year they are starting to fruit well. The only one I can remember was Elsanta.(embarrassed icon)

I have Elsanta now Vinny but find them susceptible to wilt. I have been looking at Alice, Christine andFlorence.

I have tried a pink flowered variety but found the fruits a bit tart

Christine, Alice, Florence seems a good mix. Florence is a trooper, did really well in troughs last year compared to Elsanta. Malwina is a very nice late strawberry, they go a really dark red and have an almost fizzy taste. Never grown a perpetual/everbearing variety, but maybe one like Finesse to extend the season?
