About HEPPY™
in 2017 I started planting on a 2 acre abandoned property. We’re located only 10 miles south of the US Capitol but are surrounded by several hundred acres of forest and few homes. Our urban garden design, landscape architecture and permaculture techniques incorporate fruiting trees, fruiting shrubs, edible ground cover, edible flowers, and herbs and medicinal plants that will provide food for generations. It’s a long and slow ‘haul’ as we adapt, learn new things, and are (usually ;) enjoying the process.

Creeping Charlie in Canada? Likely to have creeping Colonel

[@robinfisher8569]

I got my Alpine Strawberry plants from a local greenhouse with tons of fruit, they are not ready yet. I hope they are as good as he is stating

[@heppylifestyle]

They're awesome - small, but genuinely sweet and flavorful 🍓.
Creeping Charlie is a weed that has caused problems. Keep 'em as weed free as possible 🐞.

[@elizabeth84266]

I’ve NEVER seen wild/alpine strawberries in the stores…. I wish they were sold more locally. They taste so much better than the bigger ones!

[@heppylifestyle]

Super sweet but pretty small. Glad u like em!! 🤩😀
We're now growing a type with hints of pineapple flavor;). Stay tuned and yup, won't find these treasures in the store :/

[@jpbaje]

Its said they dont store well for shipping so thets why they dont sell in store...best to buy seeds and grow at home

[@heppylifestyle]

the first 4k vid -- i better see a 4k symbol! ;)
Alpine Strawberry produce a TON of small, sweet tasty fruit. NO disease or pests and are VERY drought tolerant. They spread and re-generate on their own. Our strawberry patch started from one 4”quart pot purchased for $6 - bought at Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's crib). Alpine Strawberry grow in USDA plant zone, 5 to 9. We pick strawberry by May (zone 7). They are native to Europe. North America has the Wild Strawberry, Fragaria virginiana! it's very similar but NOWHE… See more

[@MichaelWaddingtonDO]

there are alpine strawberry varieties Native to the US as well as Europe. Virginiana is junebearing while alpine are everbearing so alpines are great for the home gardener

[@heppylifestyle]

@@MichaelWaddingtonDO OMG -- so sweet and SO many...albeit, small fruit. you're right -- a fantastic fruiting plant for home gardeners! thanks for stopping by!

[@LyraAnareta]

Waw marunong nagtagalog ahhh.... "Problema" means problem

[@heppylifestyle]

Si, Aline Strawberries es, no problema! ;)

[@andrewcobra2000]

Alpine strawberries don't taste like strawberries. Witch kind are you growing?

[@heppylifestyle]

They're Alpine strawberries according to the seller, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello nursery 🤓. Maybe you're referring to the North American invasive, Indian Mock Strawberry (Potentilla indica) 😟.

[@andrewcobra2000]

@@heppylifestyle I'm talking about Woodland Alpine strawberries. There are 20 varieties of Alpine strawberries. The one you have looks like Mignonette or Baron Von Solemacher. Only Rugen/Rugia tastes like woodland Alpine strawberry. Regina produces the largest fruits almost the size of small strawberries.

[@heppylifestyle]

​@@andrewcobra2000 Wow! That's amazing knowledge of the species. Well done! I just Googled ​ Mignonette & Baron Von Solemacher. It must have been maddening for the person/s who documented the differences -- there's a boat-load of Alpine strawberries. Thank you for your feedback and contribution!

[@Phyankord]

mock strawberry is not a real strawberry, it isnt even in the same genus.

[@heppylifestyle]

You got it! And it's invasive! Indian Mock Strawberry (Potentilla indica, formerly Duchesnea indica)
