When I was a kid, my parents were taking forever to pick something up from a local nursery. I asked if I could get my own plant. They said yes, and I picked out an innocuous looking, leafy strawberry plant. It was $3. The single plant spread so quickly, an entire side of our house became a strawberry patch, cared for by me. For years, every summer we could go out into the garden and get fresh fruit for breakfast every day. Store bought strawberries never tasted the same to me again.
Strawberry season is so short in Ohio, it feels like Christmas when you can get your hands on some. My favorite brewery in Columbus even throws a festival to celebrate-- the "Strawberry Jam". Knowing the way you throw yourself into things, I bet those strawberries were delicious!
They were, but no good things last forever. I entered into a strategic war with the bunny population in my yard. Then the family dog saw a bunny eating one and realized they were food - but the dullard would eat the flowers before they even turned into berries so WHATS THE POINT. Then my mom "Accidentally" killed the entire patch when I went to college because they kept trying to take over the yard. I say let them. let the entire world become strawberries.
