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.

What's New?

"Organic food has a higher nutritional value than ordinary produce, a study by Newcastle University has found."

"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."
