Strawberry: A small, red, easy-to-grow fruit crop that rewards the home gardener with ample harvests for many years. In ideal planting conditions, each plant can produce one quart of strawberries a year. Strawberries grow on low plants that grow close together and send out runners. The berries are produced from the flowers after they have been pollinated. There are two types of strawberry plants to choose from: Everbearing (also known as dayneutral) and June Bearing.
- Everbearing: Plants produce berries throughout the growing season, starting with a harvest in early June through early October.
- June Bearing: Plants produce a single crop of larger berries during a two to three week period in the spring.
Ideal for annual planting, we recommend you select two varieties and replant every 1-2 years, replacing older plants. Plants should be watered in the morning, being allowed to dry before sundown.
Strawberries can be eaten fresh, served over cereal, added to shakes or by themselves. Alternately, they can also be frozen, preserved as jam or baked into pies.
Good planting partners: Melon
Bad planting partners: Broccoli and other cabbage family plants

Check back in Fall 2010 for our 2011 rootstock catalog.
Everberring - Seascape ( US Plant Patent #7614 ) - This everbearing variety has been highly successful for Northeastern growers for summer and fall production. Fruit is large and productive. The berries have good flavor when picked ripe from the plant. Works great for pies, jams and ice cream!
Junebearing - Jewel - An excellent choice for both commercial growers and home gardeners, Jewel has large berries with superb quality and flavor. We have been very successful using Jewel for home gardening due to its overall quality and consistent performance. Plants are winter hardy and vigorous, but care must be taken at renovation to maintain a good plant stand.
