Common folk often refer to these as “wild strawberries” which is incorrect. These are specifically “mock strawberries”. The reason this matters is because there is indeed another strawberry called “wild strawberry” that is sweeter and more pleasant than even store-bought strawberries. The “mock” strawberries have very little sweetness or flavor, though they are edible.
A regional radio station had me in today to do a short interview talking about The Practical Woodsman and some of the things we talk about and do here. I think they said it will air in the next couple of weeks. It was a lot of fun. We’ll see if it amounts to anything. I’ve never been in a radio studio before. I was like a kid in a candy shop looking at their equipment and studio setup: “What’s this button do? How about this button? What happens if I press this thing here? Why do I need headphones?”
If I get my hands on any of the audio I’ll be sure to share it with y’all here.
