    Strawberries are so easy to grow that they are almost invasive.

    If you leave them alone, they will overtake whatever is near them.

    Each strawberry plant I have sends off multiple runners, with multiple nodes per runner.

    It is a very high exponential growth rate.

    You can start with 4 and have over 100 in 2 years.

      I know this because we have a random strawberry bush in a crack in front of our garage but it’s just from last year and only making tiny berries right now.

      In a couple years maybe I’ll have good berries.

      Except now you have 100 plants that all taste like shit, because all strawberries now taste bland or sour.

        Spoken like someone who hasn’t grown strawberries any time recently.
