One of the most favorite fruits in America is the Strawberry. Many gardeners love this plant because they are easy to grow and produce tasty fruit year after year. On average each plant will produce about a quart of ready to eat strawberries. When it comes strawberry plants you have three varieties to choose from.
June Bearing strawberries:
This plant is perhaps the most common type grown. It bears fruit once a year, and is well known for its very large berries. A few June bearing types include the Totem, Shuksan, Puget Beauty, Olympus, Douglas and the Benton.
Everbearing Strawberries:
This type will produce fruit two or three times a year. However the amount of fruit it produces is much smaller than the June bearing variety. Some everbearing types include Tristar, Tillikum, Ozark Beauty, Lassen, Hecker, And Brighton to name a few.
Day Neutral:
This strawberry variety produces fruit throughout the growing season. Generally they are not as big as the June Bearing type. Tri-star, Eversweet, and Seascape fall into this category.
Get advice from the nursery before buying any plant. You want to be sure the variety you choose will do well in your area. Bring a sample of the soil and have it tested. Good soil is very important to the plants health and growth. The strawberry plants should be grown in a sunny location that is well drained.
Best time to plant strawberries:
The planting time for this fruit depends on where you live. If you experience harsh winters its best to purchase dormant plants, but plant during the early spring. If you experience mild winters, plant in the fall, so that the berries will be ready in the spring. Asking a nursery for advice can make growing strawberry plants easier and more fun

heather plant health-dying from roots up?My second heather plant is dying from the roots up (like the first). The stalk is dry and brittle and lower branches are dead. Upper branches are still green and supple. Would like to hear back from anyone with experience with this type of plant and why it would die so quickly after purchase.
