minus-squareNoIWontPickAName@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·7 months agoStrawberries are so easy to grow that they are almost invasive. If you leave them alone, they will overtake whatever is near them. Each strawberry plant I have sends off multiple runners, with multiple nodes per runner. It is a very high exponential growth rate. You can start with 4 and have over 100 in 2 years.

minus-squareAppoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoI am not aware of strawberry bushes. Are you sure we are still talking about strawberries?
minus-squareNoIWontPickAName@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·7 months agoUh, do you maybe live around Missouri? We have false strawberries here. Does the plant have 3 pointy leaves like this?
minus-squareIMALlama@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months agoThat sounds like a wild strawberry. The berries won’t get. Offer year over year.
