Gardening

We call them "Smultron" in Sweden and they are just what strawberries where before cultivation. My garden is full of them.

Those look like mock strawberries. I've heard they don't taste too good.

If they start peeing in a box and begging for food, they're domesticated.

It depends. Do they come to you when you call them?

Depends on what they do in their spare time.

I've got a volunteer strawberry plant exactly like this that just popped up in one of my pots. Really tasty little berries, too; I thought at first I had somehow ended up with an alpine strawberry, but I believe it's just a wild strawberry (as opposed to flavorless mock strawberries sometimes mistakenly called wild strawberries.) Been bearing fruit continuously for a few months, too. Currently trying to get some seeds to grow hydroponically, because I could go for this year round.

Edit: in researching, it seems like alpine strawberries may just be woodland strawberries in a fancier hat, so there may not be an appreciable distinction.

I've got about 2 acres of those. they grow to gumball sized every year.

they don't taste great, but not horrible either.

I don't even see straws in those berries.

Berries gone wild! Watch these crazy wild berries bare it all.

Are they everbearing strawberries? I have a few of them. They produce really small ones like that but last all summer.
