>Tried strawberries once, unsuccessfully.
This is the second season for my patch. Set'em out in Dec '16 so
this really is their first full season, although, they did produce a bit
last year. Now, their in their second flush of the season, the first
having been damaged by cold weather in early January, I they're showing
a pretty good amount of fruit but none of it is really "ready". As I
see it, a great benefit of growing ones own fruit is the ability to wait
until it's really ripe before picking. Ironically, I don't really like
fruit: Not enough sugar, I suppose ;-)

I grow tomatoes only occasionally. Most often a so-called
"heirloom" variety such as beefsteak, Homestead or Mortgage-lifter.
