      whatever LLM wrote this needs to calm down
      And when it comes to yields, picture a center kola that's like the crown jewel of the garden. It's solid, it's abundant, and it's like the heart of Strawberry Delight's bountiful offerings. But wait, there's more
- the lateral branching on this beauty is like a work of art. It's like nature's way of saying, "Let's create a masterpiece!" With a little training love, you can encourage this plant to grow sideways, becoming a robust spectacle that's bound to impress. Oh, and training? Strawberry Delight is like the hardcore queen of training! It's like BDSM is her crutch, and she's all about embracing the hardcore techniques.
Whether you're into topping, super cropping, or any other training adventure, this plant is ready to indulge your gardening fantasies!

      Honestly, when I first heard about subgrid, I figured it’d be a convenient little utility. I had no idea it would solve one of the most longstanding issues I’ve had with CSS. 😮
