Small young strawberry plant during the first season - this plant is already bearing strawberries. Strawberry plants bear fruits from the very first year. However the second season will have a fully grown up plant with much higher harvest than first year.
Start your own small strawberry garden. Strawberry plants are rugged and easy to care. But as seen here in all previous pictures, the fruits require all year loving care. If you have a really sunny balcony and a huge pot, at least 50-60 cm diameter, you may start a single strawberry plant on your balcony. In the same pot you also may have a few other plants or herbs for your kitchen!
Strawberries are among those fruits absolutely NOT suitable for deep freezing. Freezing changes color and taste! The berries are best fresh, eaten the very same day as harvested.
There are many ways to enjoy fresh strawberries - as shake or my favorite creation strawberry dessert - love filled valentine hearts.

John, my engineer, and I had an early start on Thursday - we arrived at the showground at half past 5, so that we could get BBC Radio Merseyside on air at 6.
Claire 'Minty' Minter did her travel reports from the flower show for Tony Snell's Breakfast programme, as well as chatting to anyone else she could find at that time in the morning - it felt like we were the only people about but she did manage to track down one or two stalwarts, including Show Manager, Kris Hulewicz. Later, we were joined by BBC Radio Lancashire's, John 'Gilly' Gilmore. Gilly was on air all afternoon and boy, was it hot! Luckily for Gilly, he'd brought his producer, Sue Hendey, who ensured he was covered in Factor 50 and had plenty of water. However, there's not much shade and they were both wilting by 4 o'clock. So, if Minty's early starts and Gilly's sunstroke haven't put you off and you think you can give Wogan a run for his money, get yourself a nickname... Info from:
