I gave up on strawberries for years because they quickly turn
into weed patches. Now I am hopeful that I may be able to grow
a few of them in large pots. I'm not sure how well that will
work but I'm going to give it a try.

We grew them in hanging pots under the edge of the carport many moons
ago. They produced prolifically. I don't particularly like strawberries
but the Missus likes them. I like blackberries, dewberries, etc. much
better.

So far this week we've had almost fourteen inches of rain and it's still
falling. I think we've had about three feet of rain this year already
and there's more coming.
