Default Fraises du bois...

....aka "Wild Strawberries".

I love these shy little sweeties. Tried them years ago but didn't work out; too sunny? Or?

Gonna go for it again this year, if only out of nostalgia.

This is So. Calif coastal. Would welcome any input from NG members who have grown fraises du boi (outdoors, not in greenhouses).

From the tiny yield of my six existing plants, looks like I would need a whole ****load to get much harvest.

These six little guys may be trying hard to yield "out of season" since everything is so ****ed up due to global warming. (I actually harvested a green pepper from a Costco plant that wintered over!!!)

TIA
