Sounds like they are 'wild' or 'woodland' strawberries - they are a real delicacy, so tiny but sweet and tasty nonetheless. They cost a fortune in restaurants!

I have what looks like a strawberry plant in my garden, but the fruits turn bright red when they are still tiny and don't look like strawberries. Is this a type of "fake" strawberry plant?

We am growing some strawberries in a bed with some success. Now, we have deciced to use polypipe on a 45 degree upward slant to grow more in the same space. What we're confused about is the varieties out there. I have trolled the ne but cannot sem to find anythjing about any of the plants which I have seen in the shops : Red Gauntlet; Pink; Alinta; Toga; Nellie Kelly: etc. If someone could give some info on each & others out there, I would appreciate it... Cheers

Here in the US we have a product called: "Sluggo" a pelleted bait that works on snails as well as slugs. (Inexpensive too.) The label says it is safe for both pets and food crops-and it biodegrades. I use it for my strawberries and it works well for me. Look and see if you can use it or it is available in your country. Good Luck. P.S. I buy mine at Home Depot home improvement store and it's available on Amazon.
