In this video, I introduce an incredible strawberry that I believe will be sure to amaze. This strawberry is smaller, softer, and more flavorful than regular strawberries. It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and tastes better than any other strawberry I've tried. The unique thing about this variety is its resistance to critters, with low slug pressure and consistent fruit production throughout the season.

I've harvested my first crop of these strawberries and they are the earliest fruits in my yard. They surpass other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, and currants in terms of taste and texture. I share my experiences of growing and dividing the plants, explaining how they clump and spread over time. I also started new plants from seeds and transplanted them into a raised bed. Through this video, I encourage viewers to grow these amazing strawberries themselves and provide updates on my own planting efforts. If you want to learn more and join me on my gardening journey, I invite you to subscribe to my channel.

Strawberry Introduction (00:00): Today, I want to talk to you about a strawberry that will blow your mind. This strawberry is so incredible that it will make you want to grow it. My goal is for this message to resonate with you and inspire you to grow this amazing fruit.

Unique Features of the Strawberry (00:32): Let me share with you the exceptional qualities of this strawberry. It tastes better than any other strawberry you've ever had. It's incredibly soft and melts in your mouth, offering an amazing texture. Plus, it's not bothered by critters in your yard, and the slug pressure on it is minimal. This strawberry even produces fruits throughout the entire season.

Season-Long Production (01:15): I've already harvested my first crop of strawberries from this variety in the past few days. It's the earliest fruit in my yard, and I grow a wide range of fruits. From strawberries to raspberries, blackberries, honeyberries, aronia berries, gooseberries, currants, and many more. But this strawberry stands out because it keeps producing fruit.

Introduction of Alpine Strawberries (02:36): What strawberry am I talking about? It's called an Alpine strawberry, and it's not your typical store-bought strawberry. It's smaller, softer, and bursts with way more flavor and fragrance.

Describing the Taste and Texture (03:09): Trust me, when you taste these Alpine strawberries, you'll be amazed. They melt in your mouth like a piece of chocolate. Their texture is so delicate, and the flavor is out of this world. I shared them with my brother and his girlfriend, and they couldn't believe how good they were.

Growing and Dividing the Plants (04:39): Over time, I've learned how to grow and divide these Alpine strawberry plants. They clump instead of running like other strawberry plants. I recently spread out a bed of them after separating a clump I had been growing for a few years. I ended up with a lot of plants, thanks to the seeds that fall to the ground and germinate.

Planting New Seeds (05:15): To further prove my love for these strawberries, I started a tray of Alpine strawberry seeds. They can be a bit tricky to germinate, but with the right conditions, they sprout within a few weeks. Today, I transplanted them into a raised bed, and I'm excited to watch them grow.

Updates on Planting and Colonization (06:21): Take a look at these newly transplanted seedlings. I've filled the raised bed, allowing the plants to colonize and spread. While the recommended spacing is about four inches, I've learned that as they clump and spread, they require more room. So, I'm not only encouraging you to grow these strawberries, but I'm also expanding my own strawberry garden.
