There seem to be a number of varieties. I've had trouble growing them
here. Probably not enough water.

Since the Asparagus raised bed is not doing well, I may re-convert that
to a strawberry bed. I dunno. I think they do best in a sandy soil? I
could modify the top layer in that bed, then go from there.

California imported strawberries are typically better than the local
Poteet strawberries.
