disdain strawberry


I grew up in Cameron Highlands, the strawberries are known to grew well in highlands. I love the smell and the sight of strawberry back then- even the taste are of earth, the homemade product as original true too its ingredient. Things change when it is made into commercialize. And the whole cultural of idolize the object begin to contribute of overly absurd and naive. I see strawberry plastic balloon, toys, t-shirt print, foods & beverages, merchandize - all of which became overly into making too much profit. At the point it became an ugly competitions among farmers. It is a waste of thought , and not even close enough of learning and understand, let alone appreciate the plants it self. Nowdays , all berries and some agriculture done in hydroponic framing- no longer used the soil. Everything needed to make double profit in short amount of time, as accordingly to time for 'better future'. I hate strawberries for period time. I ,too fall into 'selling' these sensation object, many years ago. Someone needed to work. For long time i grew disdain of the plants.
Hate needed to dissolve. There a strawberries plants in the pot with actually soil still grow in the garden. It taste just as i remember it back in the 1989.The botanical illustration strawberries are things i do find love about the plants.
