....and LONG shelf life.

My Wife & I got so disgusted that we moved to The Woods and started growing our own.
We are harvesting Strawberries now,
and they are To-Die-For,
but only last a bout 24 hours after they are picked,
and bruise easily.

We either eat them on the spot,
or make preserves.
I've been eating breakfast standing up in the Strawberry Patch every morning for the last two weeks.
