Which variety gets your vote for the best flavour please?

I've never grown strawberries myself - just helped a friend with his - there is a pic of the sort of planter we made in the allotment album - he grew Cambridge Favorite, which tasted lovely straight off the plant.

But my favourite are the small wild alpine ones I found on the heath by the office where I work. Great afternoon snack sat at my desk.

Hi WG

This year I am growing Honeoye and Symphony - neither of which I have tasted before. I bought three plants from a flower shop a few years ago and when I asked what variety they were, they couldn't tell me because they had no labels on them...but they were very nice

, especially with ice-cream.
So to answer your question....well, I can't really :oops: . Hopefully I will know more in a few months time when my present crop have grown and been tested by yours truly (with ice-cream, of course)

Ours were from B&Q last year don't know which variety they are but they have a lovely flavour to them, just a pity the slugs and woodlice got more than we did

Try the Mara strawberries (Mara des bois)...very popular in France. It's a new variety hybrid with wild strawberries, gets the excellent flavour of the wild ones and the size of the usual ones. Also comes twice a year:early and late summer. Good crops as well. I've bee growing some for 3 years now and I'm very happy with them...I look for advices to avoid the problem of woodlices eating strawberries at the moment. Any suggestion?

I'm using the Golden Alexandria variety. Never tasted them yet though as i'm growing them from seeds.
