Default natural Groundcover

Anyone have any thoughts about this... I have wild strawberries growing
everywhere. The fruit is tiny and maybe 1 in 10 wasn't bitter, but not
sweet either. Anyway just for the hell of it I started mowing around it
when it's flowering and bearing fruit. For some reason this year the
fruit is much larger and most of it tastes neutral and some of it is
actually a little sweet! So I've been letting it go in the gardens for
about a year and it seems like it will be a very nice ground cover. it
isn't taking over anything but open space. Well in the lawn it may be
taking over some grass, but I don't mind it... so far.

Anyone have any experience with this? I'd like to put it on steroids
and sick it on the Bermuda grass! As is I don't think it will crowd out
the Bermuda grass, but I can hope can't I?

Thoughts?
