    You must mean like 5 or 10 right?

    I can buy strawberries at the store now a days for $1 a pound.

    It’s not common but it’s not really uncommon, maybe once every month or two

      Like much store bought produce, grocery store strawberries are picked not fully ripe to make them easier to transport. On pant ripened most anything will nearly always be better than store bought, but you better be ready to use it quickly.

        I’ve seen jeans with enough dirt caked on them that they’ll stand upright in their own (I once replaced the centre support beam on a cottage built on virginia clay by hoisting it up with a bunch of car jacks) but it never occurred to me to try growing strawberries on them.

        :)

      No clue, really, I was like 6. I know I would fill my Happy Meal bucket with strawberries and give the lady a quarter. I don’t know if I was getting ripped off or getting a discount for being a cute kid.

        No, happy meal buckets were pretty big. That sounds like a decent deal. I would say you could fit a decent pound and a half in the old McDonald’s trick or treating buckets

          I remember getting buckets in the summer too. They came with little beach rakes & shovels, and the lids were sand castle molds.

          …now I’m getting all nostalgic & shit. 😐
