Wise and wisdom-full like always my friend!
The strawberries where you live look so huge also! I wish we had those sizes over here, everything seems so tiny 😂
Kind regards, take care!

Greetings @dubble ,
Appreciate your dropping by with your kind words and tokens!
These strawberries are truly a one off...which is why I was compelled to take photos of them...hopefully you will have them soon.
Did you know the green leafy part of the crown of the Strawberry is called a 'ruffle'...well now you know. ^__^
This is a photo of one of the strawberry plants in Bleujay's greenhouse. If you get the chance to grow them...you should.
Kind Regards, Take Care!

Wow they are wonderful! How long have you grown Strawberries for?
I did not know about the ruffle thank you! I feel that is some information that will be buried in my brain forever now that I can bring up in any Strawberry conversation! 😄
Are the ruffles spikey or furry and soft? they look like nettles somewhat! Having a greenhouse must be wonderful, I would definitely love to own one, one day and start growing many different kinds of things!
Take care my friend, happy growing! Best regards

Hiya @dubble ,
Let me see if I can answer your queries.....
...about two years..
...the 'Ruffle' is on the strawberry itself...on it's crown. They are soft.
...the leaves of the plant...are a bit leathery...not like nettle leaves though...hehe...
....Happy to hear you were pleased to hear about the 'Ruffle'...I thought the same thing when first I learned it. ^__^ The ones I grow do not have much of a ruffle...however these at the Green Grocer did indeed....those pictured in the post.
The Principle came to mind when I started photographing them...and saying to myself...'Where's the cream?'...you see 'Man is never satisfied.' We seek perfection, so somewhere there must be perfection. The absolute is that only God is perfect...So let's seek Him.
Take Care.
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
NB Thank you for the token!

All very interesting my friend! It's definitely a fun hobby to have, must be so enjoyable when you've grown a full batch yourself and so fresh!
It's true we are never satisfied, always wanting and expecting more! Need to be more happy with what we have, grateful to be here :)
