Not the ones from supermarkets but the ones from farm shops, fucking delicious

You can't call them that, they are just regular gingers

It’s the haggis they feed them.

It’s usually the soil that makes the difference. I grew up in Somerset and the strawberries there, particularly around Cheddar and the Mendips are absolutely elite.

The ones around here where I live now are not so special, the soil is different.

I went to Canada not so long ago and was told, by a local, about how sweet and succulent their local strawberries sold on the side of the Highway were and that I *MUST* try them. Meh, not a patch on the Somerset ones.

I haven’t tried Scottish ones tbh but I’ll take your word, OP, that they’re special

I live where most strawberries were grown years ago. Just a few fields left but they’re delicious and better than any jock rubbish.

The main problem as with a lot of things nowadays that are available all the year around they are not grown naturally is outdoors in the sunshine as in the good old days and only available for a few short weeks. Most are grown under poly tunnels etc and do not get sunshine to bring the sugars up, lots look good but are awful to taste, if you find someone growing them outdoors they will be much better subject to weather conditions. But of course as far as the growers are concerned it is probably vastly more profitable to have a crop of solar panels in the field and not have the aggro of harvesting them lol.

In the west.

It's all to do with the rain, the poor little buggers get drowned in the stuff.

Please share any names / locations.

Where’s the strawberry shed ? If it’s just over Tay bridge on the A92 that’s where I was

That's why the Welsh one's in my garden are lush.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

I grew some strawberries during the first lockdown. I used my own compost ( not a euphemism), and they tasted amazing.

All four of them.

Supermarket ones are more bland, but tbh it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.

The best Scottish ones can be found on the east coast.

What age were you when you took your kagool off for the first time?
