I dont go on QL allot so, only saw all the comments now!

For those who liked it - it was pleasure!

For those who thought it was fake, up to you!

We really enjoyed around 12 sweet strawberries we got from our lovely garden in the beginning of the year. You can buy the roots in the garden market in Abu Hamour and they are specially cultivated for this area. It was 10QR for one plant and we had strawberries few months after planting them.

Good luck to those who will try!

this is not impossible... whatever the type of soil it will grows because strawberries grows in cold season.

You can plant strawberries here. I have done it. You can get the small plants from the nurseries here. The only problem are leafdiggers (insects) and birds...otherwise, no problem. Just plant them in November/December, and you can harvest them in Jan/Feb.

The strawberry is not even attached to the plant (which doesn't even look like a strawberry plant). Why bother with the fake post when you can buy a box of them in Lulu for QR 4.50 (where you probably got this poor, unfortunate hostage).
