In the '60s a grandiflora rose was named Strawberry blonde. There are strawberry geraniums, strawberry trees, wild strawberries, and cultivated strawberries. The cultivated strawberries we enjoy today are not produced from seeds, but from runners- stems which take root around the central plant.
Strawberries require well-drained, fertile, moist soil, and thrive in cool weather.
In our area, the plants should be well mulched to prevent heaving. Strawberry recipes abound. Bake or buy your favorite pound cake. Drizzle your favorite liqueur over bottom layer. You may like to try something a little different such as Amaretto, Coffee, or Southern Comfort.
