Yup, it's true. Some of my little Everbloom Aquaponic indoor strawberries fully ripened by Mother's Day. Unfortunately, they didn't have much flavor at all but were pulpy and tasted like water. There was no sweetness to them. Wife Susie said, "It tastes like it hasn't been kissed by the sun." She's right. I'm still amazed that they even turned red and fully ripend.

I transplanted most of them into a vertical pallet planter I made, and added a few Sparkle from the outside strawberry bed.

After a week, they are surviving, so the rest of the indoor strawberries will go outside. Stay tuned!
June 17 Update:
Most plants are doing fine, but it's been too wet. The ones on the top and bottom rows are growing the best and making sweet berries again. This one ripened today, but the ants ate it first.
