... i...have been told that they will never grow on the south side. Is this so?... 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. |

a truly baffling question about strawberries
"Cereus-validus" wrote in message .com...
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 ] |

a truly baffling question about strawberries

wrote: "Cereus-validus" wrote in message .com... 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? 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. janice --------------------------------------- come check out Serenity and Good Faith! Offers stressed out individuals a place to relax and call home.

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? |
