Alpine strawberries.

Lewisburg.

Strawberries are genuinely awesome. And, for those who don't have the space for a bed of Sparkle or Honeoye or whatever, may I wholeheartedly recommend the Alexandria alpine strawberries?

Alpine strawberries

Man, are they ever good. Small, about the size of the last joint on my pinky finger, and the plants don't produce tons and tons, but they are powerfully aromatic and delicious. They're almost like strawberry candy, with a sort of concord grape foxiness. Best of all, they do really well in pots. Find a relatively sunny spot, keep 'em well watered, and you've got tabletop strawberries for years to come. All for the price of a pack of seeds.
