My dad grew strawberries. Daily harvest was 1 to 2 dozen. Mom’s shortcake used sponge cake, berries and Cool Whip or ice cream. She also froze berries for later use.
Strawberries - easy to grow and delicious!

My dad grew strawberries.

We grew a number of different varieties, some everbearing, some June bearing. The best were the everbearing. The June bearing had the biggest yield. The best ever were the Ogallala. They are a cross with wild strawberries. Commercial strawberries have gon the way of commercial tomatoes. The flavor is gone.
