Thanks everyone for the Thumbs up and acorns. I'm glad you like the info on strawberries. 3 things I learned researching:

1) The fruit has seed sacks, not individual seeds on the outside (which I should have know since I have started strawberries from seed and the seeds are tiny)
2) The June-Bearing types form their flowering within the crown in the fall
3) The fruit does not continue to ripen once picked (they just rot if left too long)

Great info here (no matter where you garden): http://strawberryplants.org/

Thanks
Joanne
