Strawberry Fields For-Freaking-Ever

Spent some time in a Pick-Ur-Own strawberry patch this morning. Yielded 23 pounds of berries. I'm not crazy about the idea of genetically messed around with food, but Mother Nature really could have done a better job on strawberries. I say lets make them the size of Grapefruit, oh hell, why not watermelons while we're at it. The bushes they grow on could be about 5 foot tall, a convenient height for most people. They should naturally repel horseflies and snakes (no better way to get the old ladies out of the good rows than yelling "SNAKE" though!) And perhaps we could engineer them to ripen at a cooler time of year, like March, maybe a second crop in October. An added benefit would be on the bush fermentation, the majority of these berries will be stomped and allowed to fester for weeks until it's wine instead of a bubbling gurgling vat of ooze. I'm in favor of getting all liquored up right at the farm.
