I've got a strawberry shake right now... my mother and sister have
strawberries and whipped cream... Yum.

Strawberries are pretty easy things to grow yourself, and once you get a
bed established and going, you'll have plenty of them. :-) (We've grown
strawberries in IL and IN north of I-70 and south of I-80 with plenty of
success.)

How did you deal with the slugs that tasted your ripe strawberries
just before you picked them? I'm picking mine as soon as there's red
and before any holes.
