Holy cow-now that’s what I call one big berry! What’s your secret?
Can’t claim credit, alas, but some farmer out there has great fields!
Amazing 👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Truly it was! 🍓🍓🍓
My goodness! That is GINORMOUS!
Amazing, never seen the like! 🍓
My goodness. Was that from your garden?
No, store bought. I wouldn’t dare try, the critters would lay waste to my efforts!
Ahhhh. Right!
Wow! Was it sweet, as far as strawberries go?
It tasted just like the rest, but what a specimen!
It is so big!
Incredible! 😀
That is one healthy strawberry! Congratulations you must have good soil!
Can’t claim credit, alas, but what a size it was!
I have never seen a strawberry this large!
Me neither, could barely believe my eyes. Tasted great, too. 🙂
Wow!
Exactly! 😀
Wowsah! What a beauty Eliza! 🍓
Thanks, Xenia. Astounding, it was!
Yeehah! That is a beauty Eliza, you could almost feed the neighborhood. Keep the plant going with many shoots, you could sell it as a family size Behemoth Berry’s 🤗🤣❤️🙏
Thanks, Mark. Wish I could claim it, but some other farmer out there has really productive fields!
Most definitely. The worlds food problem solved 🤣
That one takes the 🍓 crown!😁 That must be an EGO (Eliza Grown Organism).
I don’t grow strawberries as I wouldn’t be able to beat the competition. I let someone else do battle for me. 😉
Wow!
That’s what I said… couldn’t believe my eyes!
Holy Cow! I mean, Holy Strawberry! Enough f9r a pie!!
Truly! I couldn’t believe how huge it was… Godzilla-strawberry!
WOW! The chipmunks and squirrels got 99% of mine. 😦
Ooh, sorry to hear that. I don’t bother to grow them for that reason… too much competition for that sweetness!
That looks like the perfect amount of summer deliciousness!
A delicious handful! 😉
OMG! Maybe 4 of those would make a quart! Hope it was sweet. 🙂
Not bad! 🙂 🍓

No, store bought– with all the critters I have, growing them would be literally a ‘fruitless effort!’
That one looks like it might require a knife and fork!
It was hard to eat such a rare thing, but needs must, ha!
WOW! How did it taste? Was it as good as it looks? Mine aren’t ripe yet.
It was good, no different than the others. I’ve never seen anything like it!
Wow! That is one whole short cake worth of strawberry!
IKR? An incredible thing!
Yumm!!
Exactly so! 😉
Wow! Was it as sweet as the smaller ones?
I didn’t note a difference. 🙂
Woah, Eliza. That’s crazy! Hope it tasted as good as it looks. 🍓
I was flabbergasted, lol! It was tasty. 😉
WOW!! That’s amazing and I bet delicious!!! 🤩
It surely was 😉 thanks, Diana!
Holy cow — that’s one BIG berry!! I hope it tasted as good as it looks!
Yup! 😀
Didn’t know they got so big!
Very rarely, this was the largest one I’ve ever seen!
Wow that is a big one – a feast in itself
Absolutely! 😉
Heavens to Murgatroid!!! Mutant strawberries take over the earth! 😀 … sounds OK to me. 😀
A bit unsettling, but I could get used to it! 😉
😀
Wow! Was it tasty too 😊
It was 🙂 Thanks, Belinda!
Amazing Eliza! I would hate to cut it up ❦
If I could have saved it, I would have. 🙂 The photo will have to do. 😉
That’s almost scary…
IKR? All I can think of is that there was only one pollinated strawberry on the whole plant and all the energy went into this one!
Oh my goodness, a strawberry on steroids!
That’s what I thought! 😀
Oh my gosh! You could eat that one by the slice
Could feed a family of four, lol!
That should win prizes!
MJ
It definitely would. I should have tried for the Guinness Book of World Records!
Yikes! (Do you have extremely small hands? If not, that’s about the size of a peach!)
It was around 4″ long… beyond belief!
Wow! Enough for a whole family! 🤣 Happy strawberry season Eliza!
Thank you, Cathy! A meal in and of itself. 😉
That is quite the specimen. I hope it tasted as good as it looks.
Not as good as home grown, of course, but very good all the same. 🙂
I hope it tasted as good as it looked. The grower might win the state fair with a strawberry like this. 🍓
It truly would have won! Its flavor was good.
Wow, that’s a lot of jam, or fruit salad ingredient, or just with cream. How did you use this delicious looking strawberry?
I ate it straight up, savoring every bite! 🙂
Yum, the best way.
Straw-Very 😜
For sure! 🙂
WOW … ginormous is right!!!
Ha, yes, quite amazing!
OOHHHH !!
Crazy, right? 🙂
Oh yes !!!!
