Strawberry Surecrop:
Strawberry Surecrop, Fragaria × ananassa 'Surecrop', is a heavy producer of large, firm, rich but sweet fruit in mid season. 'Surecrop' is an easy-to-grow crop. Makes great jams, jellies, pies, tarts, and an ideal canner. The berries redden all the way through, with a rich but sweet flavor. The fruit holds well both on the vines and after picking. June bearing strawberries produce a single crop each year during a 2-3 week period. If you get blooms the first year while the plant is getting established pinch the blooms off to ensure a large fruit crop the next year. Average yield of one quart per plant. Self-pollinating. Light to even sandy soil with good drainage is required. Neutral to slightly acidic is best. Strawberry plants need consistent, frequent waterings to produce well.

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.
The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."Free
