How and where do you grow strawberries?

Some fruits grow on trees, some grow on bushes. A bush being similar to a tree but never getting very tall, and lacking the strength to support itself above about 5 or 6 feet.

Strawberries grow from plants which spread across the ground, as their stems lack the strength to support themselves. The word strawberry derives from the fact that they 'stray' across the ground, rather than growing upright. Strawberries are usually grown from cuttings. These can be planted in pots or barrels in soil with plenty of fertiliser or in potting compost. They need plenty of watering and should be protected from slugs and snails.

What is the best way to store strawberries?

Method #1 If the strawberries are pristine clean, meaning no dirt particles whatsoever: Remove the strawberry hull. Do not wash the berries.

When they are frozen solid, remove them from the cookie sheet and drop them into a heavy-duty freezer zip-lock bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag. Zip it closed and place it back into the freezer for storage. You will be able to use as many or as few strawberries as you wish.

Do grasshoppers eat strawberries?

if there was nothing left for them to eat then they could survive on strawberries but it wouldn't be their first choice.

In the wild they eat most kinds of leafy green stuff, but strawberry leaves are a bit tough, while the berries are a bit lumpy. So if there are juicy grasses and herbs around, most grasshoppers probably would give a well-weeded strawberry field a miss most of the time. But when there are large numbers of grasshoppers, say, when people have been spraying unwisely and killing creatures that eat grasshoppers, your strawberries could have a hard time when there are not enough of the grasshoppers' favourite foods.
