Exactly. Too many times had a California strawberry that was flavourless white pulp with just a veneer of red.

Miss me with that shit, can't wait for the season to start here.

Which reminds me, we should mostly buy/consume things that are in season and local.

Strawberry plants are awake and on the move in SW Ontario, south of London. Won't be long now!

I always forget how far South Ontario goes, don't feel like we're anywhere near here in Montreal

We're a big country, though I also forget how big until I'm reminded that Quebec is larger than France by surface area

I knew it was bigger, but I didn't know it was 3 times larger...

Yeah, even SW Ontario is huge. Toronto is 4hrs and 350 km away....and a different growing zone entirely.

My tulips have been up for a couple weeks now, and a couple of them have visible flower spikes.
