    Strawberries!

    1. Here in Tucson, about the only way you can grow them is in a controlled environment. I tried growing them in the soil here, and they were salty instead of sweet! 2. That I am not sure of, but we have naturally very alkaline soil here. If I put vinegar on the native soil it will fizz up! 3...

    Strawberries!
