On 10th Sept 2014 this plant I allow the flower to develop to see what happen, whether it can bear fruit in this hot lowland.

To get the plant flowering is great news for me since as a known fact that Strawberry will have difficulties in flowering if exposed to temperature of greater that 28 degrees C.

Nice and firm, but should have waited another couple of days before picking.

Not the usual Strawberry shape, may be due to this particular cultivar it is like that.

The flesh is firm and not watery as most Aquaponics, what ever it is I am overjoy for this and can't wait for next year when the plants are fully ready to bear fruits.
So it took 18 days from flower to picking time, more or less.
