Strawberries

I love strawberries and always have. One of my fondest memories was coming back from boarding school in July and helping my father pick bowls of home grown strawberries for the family to eat. It was essentially organic growing although nobody needed to call it that then. They were the best strawberries that I've ever tasted - full of flavour. We also used to get wild strawberries growing in the hedgebanks at about the same time. Although much smaller than the cultivated variety, they have their own slightly tart, fresh taste. With Devonshire cream the strawberries were unbelievably delicious.
