Seascape Strawberries

We're just too busy in the greenhouses these days to do much blogging, but here's an entry on a new strawberry for us. We'll be growing them in the field this year (and we have a few extras left over that we've potted up to sell with our flowers).

Ahhh, strawberries all summer long! You can have your cake and eat it too with these Seascape berries. Introduced in 1988, this UC Davis berry has Californian size and appearance, with Ontario's sweet delicious flavour. Once it starts bearing fruit this July, it will keep producing until it gets cool in autumn.

Garden Performance: Great for containers or in the ground. Clipping off the first set of blooms, and any runners, will promote a more vigorous plant, and higher (but later) yield.
