Strawberries in Phoenix

Do any of the desert dwellers out there have strawberries going? I'm planning on putting some in a few squares and wanted to see if anyone has had any luck. I picked up a 6 pack of everbearing strawberries. No identification other than that although the guy at the nursery thinks they are Quinalt.

Please tell me about your experiences with strawberries. Thanks.

Tried them as one of my first gardening experiences - didn't turn out well but I don't think they got enough sun. I'm interested in learning what others have done successfully.

I tried them several years ago. They were in our front yard on the north side of a wall. They didn't get much sunlight, however, they survived for several years. Unfortunately the fruit was always eaten by snails.

I hope this try will produce better strawberries. I already have at least one started and a blossom.
