We were taking a walk with the kids today in a big park (in our city) and came across an out-of-the-way area filled with wild strawberry plants. The plants had fully opened flowers. I wonder, how long should we wait before going back and looking for fruit? I'm guessing maybe about three weeks?

Not sure where you live, but I live in southern KY and we have ripe wild strawberries everywhere. They are about half the size of my tame strawberries but still pretty good size. I had to put a net over my berries today as the birds where eating them as fast as they ripened.

We're considerably north of you, in Ontario. :)

Around June 1-7 in NW Indiana. Mine are forming fruit now.
