Wild Strawberries
Each June and July growing locally we have lots of wild strawberries, they do best in dry and well drained ground such a raised hedgerows or like these ones, along a river bank in a disused slate quarry near the village of Windgap, County KIlkenny.

Are they edible or too bitter to eat?

Hello Vicki…
Yes your can eat them, you need to be careful that they are fresh but you can eat the full plant including the leafs.
They are a little sweet and not that different than the supermarket type, but you will be finding them fresh so they are much better 🙂
