Valerie – I have 3 varieties [I think] that I bought from T&T Seeds. I checked for you, but their website isn’t functioning, so I don’t know what varietals I have. I’m curious why yours winter killed, and why I may be having luck with them. My wild plants are going bonkers, as I mentioned, so by next year I should have more than enough to share if you want to try a few – if for no other reason than they seem to make an effective ground cover.

Any homegrown kind? Not been my experience… and they are dying out every year. This is the first year in 7 that I haven’t had any. Too few with too much space to grow and too little produce prompted that call. But, if there is a kind I don’t know about – I’m there, now! Vanja’s parents have a huge place in Bosna and the wild strawberries are everywhere. She picks and freezes them daily – and probably gets about a litre through the season. All I can say is that one litre is shared by all and is insane is the perfect word to describe the powerful flavour of these tiny little treats.

Pineapple comes to mind, from hearsay. People I know can’t eat it anymore, after eating it near the growing point.
So for Edmonton, that means Berries of many types, and a few hardy apples…that will have the right non-early picked flavour.
Sigh.
