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.

I haven't seen any slugs, but that's not to say they're not out there.

We do occasionally get some bad red berries, but they're minimal compared
to the number of good ones.

Same here - don't have to deal with slugs much. After a lot of rain - my
mom had an invasion of slugs in her house. they put table salt everywhere
to get rid of the slugs - don't know how that would work in a garden
though.............sorry

Hi, we are in the UK and have a patch of Hapil strawberries. They were
"billed" as being big fruit and certainly live up to that reputation.

Exellent sized and flavoured fruit - so far!
