Why We Love Homegrown Strawberries

There’s nothing quite like the taste of freshly picked strawberries in a way store fruit rarely matches. Deeply sweet, juicy, and fragrant, homegrown berries are packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, making them a wholesome addition to breakfasts, desserts, preserves, and snacks. Picking ripe berries straight from your own garden connects you with your food and elevates every dish they grace.

Difference Between Everbearing and June-bearing Strawberry Varieties

Understanding the fruiting habits of strawberries helps you plan your harvest. June-bearing varieties like All Star, Chandler, and Honeoye produce one abundant crop over a few weeks in late spring to early summer, ideal for preserving and large yields at once. Everbearing varieties such as Eversweet, Fort Laramie, Ozark Beauty, and Quinault offer smaller harvests spread from late spring through fall, extending your enjoyment of fresh berries over the season. Each type has its place in the garden depending on whether you prefer a big single harvest or steady production. Plant both varieties to keep you in berries throughout the growing season!

Growing Strawberries from Roots

Starting strawberries from bare roots gives you a head start on establishing a healthy, productive patch. Begin by setting plants out as early as possible in the spring. Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil and good air circulation, and set the crowns at soil level to encourage strong root establishment. Regular watering, mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, and periodic feeding will promote vigorous growth and sweet fruit set. Runners should be removed as well as the first flush of flowers so plants can direct energy into establishing a strong root system. For winter protection, cover plants with straw or leaves after the temperature has fallen to about 20° F. Remove covering in the spring once growth begins. The bed should be replaced after two years because quality and yield begin to decrease.
