WHAT IS THIS PLANT??
This looks like a strawberry plant, until you look closer. The little berry has seeds on the OUTSIDE of the berry, and the inside is white and appears to be only water--there is no flavor. Most of the leaves are just like strawberries (clusters of three), but once in a while, there are four or even five leaves in a cluster. It trails like strawberry. This plant produces berries from June until frost (in my lawn--I just mow them all summer). If it is related to strawberry, it would be really nice if there could be an "ever-bearing" strawberry developed--if the size and taste of real strawberries should be mixed with this plant's productivity.

I know wild strawberries and this is not a strawberry. Wild strawberries are about the same size as these, but sweet an very tasty--this is totally tasteless, and the seeds are smaller ans OUTSIDE the berry.
