Wild Strawberries

Wild strawberry

In the spring, wild strawberries grow in various parts of our "lawn." I use the word "lawn" loosely. We just mow what's there. Somehow the strawberries survive and come up every year. They have a very seedy berry.

Remember William Henry Harrison who led American troops at the Battle of Tippecanoe and later became President for about a month before he died in office? He supposedly said that there were so many wild strawberries in Indiana in 1811 that the feet of the soldiers' horses were red with the juice.
