I began on the family farm where the notrh edge (10 feet (or so) was a
strawberry patch approximately 150 feet long. It was bordered by the
blackberry briars along the fence. These days I visit Jefferies Orchard
if I want really *fresh* strawberries. Their beds are 24" raised beds
to make U-Pick a reality for creaky oldsters like me. Bv)=
"Jefferies Orchard offers a diverse range of fresh produce in season.
The growing season starts with asparagus and rhubarb in the spring,
followed by pick-your-own strawberries in late May. Pick-your-own
blueberries start in late June or early July, which are the last u-pick
crop of the year."

When I bought this house I thought I had spotted the distinctive leaves
of the strawberry in the side yard. What I had was (from the WIKI)
"Indian-strawberry, or false strawberry,[4] often referred to as a
backyard strawberry, mainly in North America, is a flowering plant in
the family Rosaceae. It has foliage and an aggregate accessory fruit
similar to that of a true strawberry. It has yellow flowers, unlike the
white or slightly pink flowers of true strawberries. It is native to
eastern and southern Asia, but has been introduced to many other areas
as a medicinal and an ornamental plant."
I blame the birds for my fake strawberry bed. The small, hard fruits
are said to be edible - but I find them sour/bitter som leave them as
found, Bv)=
