I've been eating about 1-2 white alpine strawberries daily since last week, today had a bumper crop with five total
There is a short period when they are ripe, one tells by the fragrance - also, the seeds and flesh do turn slightly brown.
They are mildly sweet with a slightly mushy texture, and taste pleasantly "tropical". The flavor may improve as we progress into summer. It was a fun diversion, not sure whether I will continue with them next season - first, because the local farmer has some amazing strawberries this year that puts everything else to shame, and second, the homemade self-watering containers are absolutely infested with fungus gnats (I've tried nearly everything, can't recover without non-organic pesticides at this point) that makes it a bit unnerving searching the bush to find the berry.
