minus-squareNoIWontPickAName@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoStrawberries are so easy to grow that they are almost invasive. If you leave them alone, they will overtake whatever is near them. Each strawberry plant I have sends off multiple runners, with multiple nodes per runner. It is a very high exponential growth rate. You can start with 4 and have over 100 in 2 years.
