The boxes in which I planted strawberries last spring were full of weeds this year. I didn't expect the strawberry plants to actually survive. So, I was surprised when we started cleaning out the weeds to find a relatively productive crop at hand. If there is any value to the weeds, I think they kept the strawberries hidden from the birds. The crop is still coming in, but so far has been more bountiful than I expected.
The plants you gave me last year produced 100s of berries. They are delicious. We are still harvesting them.
