However, nothing beats plucking a delicious homegrown strawberry from your garden.

Every year the tennis supporters at Wimbledon munch their way through more than 38 tons of strawberries.

The tournament is synonymous with the berry and has been served there since the competition began in the late 19th century. In those days, it was a delicacy and only seasonally available for a brief period in July.
