MB, that's what I used to do but the module tray is so flimsy that if I get my hand underneath and squeeze the whole lot might fall out! 

That's a great idea!

Maybe eating it for the grit content, birds need grit to grind their food.

My new variety is Costoluto Florentino on the recommendation of this forum.

As I already grow Stupice, Galina, Black Krim, Honeycomb, Sweet Million, Tigrella, Orange Banana (not grown for a few years and giving another chance) , Grushovka & Latah, Crimson Crush and primabella I don't have a huge capacity for new varieties!

[can anyone work out which seed company I'm a fan of  ]

I'd guess you are a fan of Real Seeds.

Just wanted to start off saying hey. I'm a gardener from USA. I was hoping yall could help point me in the right direction.

So I've been looking to add a strawberry patch to my garden and in doing some research the Royal sovereign variety seems to be what I want as it's an old cultivar with as if read amazing flavor.
The trouble is that it is impossible to find anyone growing them in US or Canada
And from what I've seen not very many places in the UK sell them. The ones who do sadly don't ship outside UK.

I was wondering why does it seem that such an amazing strawberry has such limited regional and global distribution. Is it particularly hard to grow or is its quality over stated? Or just a nich plant that only some people are interested in?

Sorry for the long winded first post. Hope yall are having a great weekend.
