Our strawberries made it through the freezes without any difficulty. The variety is called 'Sweet Charlie', and so far I really like them (from Ison's). We planted 80 plants, and probably 75 survived the winter. The berries are small but very sweet, and the plants seem to be good producers, considering that we have them confined to holes in the cinderblocks of our garden. I've been picking 2-3 every day for almost a week now, which makes me think that I'll have a bumper crop next year if I can keep them alive through the summer.
