Everbearing

The ever-bearing strawberries have already given us a couple bowls of strawberries. We are growing these on plastic to reduce weed problems. The ever-bearing strawberries produce fruit all summer.
The other type of strawberries (June-bearing) are grown without plastic, they send out many more runners that root and produce new plants. As the name implies, we will get one big flush of berries in June from these plants. Some people like the ease of picking all of the berries at once and they are usually bigger and sweeter than the ever-bearing varieties.
We planted both types of strawberries and we are learning the advantages of both types of plants and methods of growing them.
