They grow in very limited numbers in our back garden. Not as numerous as the raspberries I thought I had killed when I moved them.

Wild Strawberries, yeah if you know where to look they're scattered around the UK. A milder flavour to the cultured big boys.

I planted some in the back garden a couple of years ago. They fruit all year round which the slugs and Blackbirds think is great.

Great things, almost like eating sweeties.
We've just planted some and I also know all the secret wild stashes along local hedgerows.

They are the only ones that thrive in our garden. Taste like bubblegum.

So small that they're not worth the hassle.
