Strawberries

-Allstar and Honeoye are some of the largest varieties
-They can be planted as soon as the soil is workable, but not if the soil is wet. I'll have to wait till later in the week.
-When first flowers appear, pick them off as it promotes long runners, and a large crop, the next season
-Should not be planted where peppers or tomatoes have been planted
-Most widely grown fruit in home gardens
-Strawberries have tons of pests and diseases

I may not plant strawberries, even though they are delicious and seem sort of resistant. I may wait a year to see how this crop goes and rearrange my plants to see if I can get better results, if need be.
