If you are looking for a cute baby sized plant that carries lovely berries for your breakfast cereal, you may want to get yourself some wild strawberry plants.

Wild strawberries flower from April to June and you can grow them in a pot on your

balcony or in your garden.I think it's a great plant as it covers acres of soil that would otherwise be covered in weeds, what's not to love ?

Plus add the benefit of those cute little strawberries and I think we're in business.
