Many summer residents are ready to argue until their voices become hoarse on a wide variety of topics.
Often the stumbling block is the question of whether strawberries or wild strawberries grow in the garden beds laid out on the plot.
One look at the plantings is enough to establish the truth, but let's look into everything in detail so that you can knock your opponent out cold in an argument.
So, wild strawberries grow in meadows and forests and give us small but tasty berries.
In our garden plot we plant garden strawberries and wild strawberries.
The difference between garden strawberries and their "wild counterparts" is that their berries grow significantly larger. Their final size directly depends on the variety.
But this does not help us to figure out the difference between garden strawberries and wild strawberries, because the latter also boasts fruits of impressive size.
To dot the i's and cross the t's, pay attention to the flowers. If you have a strawberry in front of you, its flowers will grow above the leaves, while the flower stalks of wild strawberries grow below the leaves.
