We like them sliced then and mixed with whatever other fruits we have on hand, cantaloupe, bannanas, blueberries, etc. Then put just a thin oating on Tupelo honey over them. Oh man that's good.

Are strawberries are just coming in and they are taking over by the front lawn. I am just going to throw a bunch of amended loam on top of them and they will come in better. I have a large area out back I was going to lay down some gopher wire (aviary wire) and then cover it with compost and use the strawberries for a ground cover we can eat. They will surround our pomegranate trees. It does not matter if we step on them when harvesting the pomegranates, they will just come back. We are bless with great weather all we need is water.....

Ours are just starting to make strawberries now. Can't wait.

They wont bear if it is hot, experience a cold snap, are not watered enough but not to much and they have a 3-5 year bed life. So it wont produce properly if the conditions are not near perfect.
In past years we have not had a great deal of luck with our strawberries. Many years I never put any in. Last year my wife wanted some so she put in about a dozen plants in a small patch. We got some, but they tended to be a bit on the tart side. We had a mild winter even for So. Cal. and this year they are producing heavily and have a great sweet taste.
mine are flowering steady, but producing nothing!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Mine are making. They're a little tart, but still ok. I've gotten a few good ones. I guess daily rain for 26 days in a row helped.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Just starting to get some off mine. They where just planted a few months ago, but doing great. Got one off of the plants the other day and it was delicious.

We are starting to get ours too. Another week and we will have a bunch.

Ok all, need some help. Some of the leaves on our strawberry plants are turning red. Da Hubs isn't sure what's wrong but as he won't be back for awhile I've been keeping an eye on the garden, weeding watering, although as it's been raining for the last week , off and on,so I'm not watering a lot. Brussels (now that bunny has stopped eating the leaves), peas, carrots, maters and peppers are ok, Have all but one of the squash plants blossoming now. It's the strawberries I'm concerned with. Any suggestions?
