This year, we are growing them in a hanging basket! Years ago, in another place, on another continent, we were strawberry farmers. This is our first picking, shot with the Canon Sureshot A640, still going strong.

I am delighted to announce that you have been awarded 1st Prize ( Gold Medal ) in the Strawb Growers annual competition. Excellent
fruit, no damage, great shape.
Oh, and the photo is mighty fine too !.
Cheers, Mike.
Thanks Mike. I shall wear it with pride!
Should grow cream also! Cheers. Ed.
Great image, but is it just me. Strawberries taste nothing like the did years ago!
Picked early and force ripened they just taste like water, naturally grown and picked when ripe they taste just like they always did. Luckily here in California the season is a long one.
Nice pic and great looking strawberries.... now I need to go shopping!

We considered growing cream, but the waste product is too messy.....
Fresh strawberries, a sprinkle of ground black pepper, Yummm......
Okay you can be put in the same box of weird my wife belongs in... she puts salt on them.
The look delicious! Nicely presented.

Nothing unusual there. Salt is a 'flavour enhancer' so it's logical to put 'just a little sprinkle' over the top of a bowl of them. Then smother in Cornish Clotted Cream!! Delicious, and only a small chance of a heart attack!!
