This year I planted four strawberry plants, and although I'm told I'm not suppose to allow strawberries to grow during the first year, I simply can't resist. Apparently, preventing strawberries from growing during the first year allows the plant's root system to develop, creating better strawberries in the forthcoming years.
Screw that.
Yesterday I picked two strawberries, and today I just picked three - they were all quarter-sized but sweet at can be. My 5-year-old daughter said, "Woah, those are TOO sweet, dad. But, oh, they have a good aftertaste." I couldn't agree more.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't probably follow my plan with the strawberries unless you're interested in eating them as soon as possible. I'll see how the plants hold up next year...
