Wow! Either the weather really agreed with them this season, or maybe some bees cross-pollinated them with domestic berries? They look delicious though!

I used to pick strawberries for .05 cents a quart. I'm sure glad they were bigger than the ones you've been picking though. I would never earn a nickel. Are they sweet? Usually the smallest domestic strawberries are the sweetest. Good job.
