Ask:
I picked my first strawberry last night and it was so good. I just planted them last year so I didn't get anything last year. I should get a good amount this year.
So what makes a good strawberry? More water, less water? The soil, the sun?
Answer:
Chocolate and whip cream!
J/K I haven't planted any yet, but here is what I have found...
"Strawberries will have more flavor when grown in areas where days are sunny and nights are cool. Strawberries that grow during cool temperatures have firmer fruit than those grown during warm humid weather. Temperatures of 70 to 80 F during the day and 60 to 65 during the night result in a ripening period of about 30 days.
