    I open the pack and shuffle them around. I went through about 10 packs of strawberries yesterday… all were fucked and still being sold.

    I bought none. next time, I’m throwing the bad crap to the side, and filling a thing with strawberries from multiple packs.

    I’m done being nice in grocery stores…

      They’re super low maintenance to grow. Plant them in open dirt, not one of those strawberry pots, and they will reproduce themselves by sending out above ground runners. And they taste better.

            Most kinds of berries will grow in a pot, if you have a balcony and the right weather. I have mildew problems with my strawberries but my blueberry bush makes enough for one pie one day and a little snacky bite on a lot of other days.

          What climate will they not grow in besides arctic zones?

          They grow pretty far up north in Canada.
