The flavor of the fully ripe strawberry was incredible.

Most important thing this year was putting wire mesh over the plants so nothing else could grab the food before it was ready to harvest.

That looks very tasty, well done! What variety is this?

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm in a very Northern climate and this variety is specifically capable of dealing with extremely low winter temperatures, like -30C. That's been one of the goals I have for this year, is to have my plants live until next year.

Oh man, I'm so envious; I had home grown strawberries a few years back and store bought ones could never compare.
