My domestic strawberries were accompanied be wild strawberries last summer. I was a bit lazy about getting rid of them, partly because I don't know which is which until I see the little fruits. Is there another way to tell which are the wild? Should I be pulling them out anyway?
Is this a good time (February in MD) to do so?

I decided that the smaller, more serrated leaves were wild strawberries. I pulled them all out and this is what my patch looks like now. There were lots of closely growing and intertwined plants but I just followed the leaves down to the main root and pulled out whole bunches of "wild" looking strawberry plants.
I think I done right.
