Hello everyone,

I have a significant strawberry patch and I’ve been blessed with copious strawberries this year. They are all star strawberries, they’re big, red and look ready to eat. That said, if you give them a slight squeeze or try and cut through them they immediately turn to mush/apple sauce. The flavor is still good and the skins are blemish free/ no visible pests or anything.

Question i have to ask, why are they mushy? They are definitely ripe and ready to pick. We’ve had a very wet Spring in my part of the world (Central Canada).

On the other side of the bed I have some Fort Laramie that just produced their first fruit. I just harvested them, and they were firm to the touch as you’d expect.

Any ideas?

I’d like to apply the general rules he follows, but clearly the rice would have to be replaced with something that works in our region.

What the heck do i do with this bulb on the very top ?

Actually, I’m just curious about how agriculture will develop in the context of the farm produce shops we visit every day. Like, will these veggie and fruit stores follow new agricultural trends? Maybe we’ll see more high-tech produce on the shelves? Or will the selling models change? I’m basically wondering about the connection between agricultural development and these neighborhood stores—and how they’ll influence each other going forward.
