Strawberries!

Yesterday I planted three different strawberry varieties: Earlyglow, Allstar and Sparkle.  These come to maturity at different times of the summer so this collection is supposed to provide fruit throughout much of the summer.  I planted them in the western bed that is in a semi-circle shape.  As you can see I used lots of straw mulch but I’m still concerned about weeds.  For comparison I show an of the alpine strawberries I planted last spring.  The fruit from the alpine types is smaller but is very tasty and they keep producing all summer at a modest level.  Also the alpine strawberries don’t spread by runners.
