had to do with late plantings due to the cold winter. Voila, cheap strawberries.

Actually, the early flowers got frozen (FL), and the the plants put out a second bloom, which happened to make the Florida crop overlap the CA crop which is unusual. There were reports of growers in CA letting people pick for free in there fields, as the price was so low in early April they couldn't pick them all. Same thing happened in the PNW last year for cherries.
