Good crop this year. Just picked 5 quarts which will be gone quick. I like them over shortbread with whip cream left sitting in the fridge for about 6 hrs then devoured.
My bro is actually allergic to them poor guy.

My brother goes to produce auctions close to Amish country and buys multiple quarts at a time and always sells me a few of them. I have about 5 or 6 plants here and just had a few off of them yesterday. My dad adds sugar to his when he eats them. Crazy.

Mom just picked a few quarts yesterday. Funny how they taste so much better than the one you buy in the store.

I use sugar and lemon juice to macerate Strawberries before I eat them.

Not all jacked up with chemicals and artificial colors to make them look more "pretty." It's the same thing with beef. Typically it won't look that bright red.

I just like mine right off the plant. I never put sugar on fruit. Just not my style.
