Strawberry

Sweet, juicy berries taste best when they are homegrown fresh. Everbearing varieties produce a spring crop and another one in late summer, and are best for small gardens. Single crop or June-bearing varieties produce one crop. Easy to grow in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil and ample water.
