They will always be on the south side of something. Were they not, it
were very cold. (and getting colder at this time of year).

Short answer, No.

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!

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?

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?

What hemisphere do you live in? South is the cold side in the
Southern hemisphere.

Mine are in barrels on the south side of the house, and I think one of
them was getting a little less sun than the others and so was not
producing as well.. either that or they weren't really ever bearing as
marked. But I'd think that the south side was the best side of
anything as they need sunshine. Lots of it. Of course, then they
need water. At least in my world.

Why? The compare a strawberry flower to a dog rose flower - there's lots
of similarities.

It's not half as surprising as a cyclamen belonging to the primrose
family!

You're making that up.

You claim that Europeans were eating strawberries before they were
introduced from the New World.

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.


Beware of Garden Gnomona bearing sundials?
