a truly baffling question about strawberries
"............The Anglo-Saxons were calling them strawberries 500 years
before Columbus. They're recorded at least as far back as Roman times ........." Strawberries were cultivated by the Romans as early as 200 BC and in mediaeval times strawberries were regarded as an aphrodisiac and a soup made of strawberries, borage and soured cream was traditionally served to newly-weds at their wedding breakfast. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Next you will be saying that Romans wore wrist watches with Roman numerals on them!! Of course. They also had little sundial faces with a tiny gnomon sticking out from them. |

ok even though this conversation has drifted away from its present topic i would like to ask a question about growing strawberries. I want to grow them on the south side of my house along with blueberry bushes, and rasberry bushes but have been told that they will never grow on the south side. Is this so? --------------------------------------- come check out Serenity and Good Faith! Offers stressed out individuals a place to relax and call home.

Too much for you ape brain to handle? A strawberry isn't a berry at all in the botanical sense. Its actually a fleshy receptacle with the seeds embedded in it. a berreceptacle? i've been eating that? oh no! "meat n potatoes" wrote in message om... i was eating a strawberry and was suddenly bowled over by a profoundly puzzling fact. ever notice the seeds on the strawberry are on the outside? but why? all fruits have the seeds on the inside. take a blueberry, grape, cherry, apple, tomato, etc. etc. why do strawberries have the seeds on the outside? it's like a guy with sperm on the outside of his ballsack. that shit is weird. |

I'm more amazed it's from the rose family. And just as long as they taste wonderful, who cares? -- Cheers, Loki [ Brevity is the soul of wit. W.Shakespeare ] |
