While I'm sure soil makes some difference, I have some alpine strawberries in
pots, and others in the ground, and they taste pretty similar to me.
They taste much better if I wait until they are _really_ ripe before picking
them.
I can only grow alpine strawberries. For reasons I don't understand the
critters eat all my 'ordinary' strawberries but often don't notice the alpine
ones. But far away the best-flavored strawberries I've bought at farmers'
markets were 'earli-glow'.
