    Strawberry varieties

    So it's time to replace my tired old strawberries. This year's crop is really poor but considering the current plants are runners from runners from runners, they don't owe me much.

    Does anybody have any favourite varieties they can recommend? I have no idea what variety my current ones are.
    Are y'oroight booy?

      I love my Honeyone, very productive and sweet but it will depends on the soil as I know somebody else on here finds them weak plants. For me they're very vigorous.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        I like Korona

        Its early, a good yielder and very resistant to root dieseases so easy to grow and most importantly tastes very good.

          I grow mostly Gariguette.
          You can buy them in the UK.
          It's an early strawberry , really sweet

          Pomona fruits' site says this about them...

          " Strawberry 'Gariguette' (early)

          This very old and much-loved French variety is prized by leading chefs for its wonderful scent and outstanding flavour. The elongated orange-red fruits are soft and juicy and have the most intense, sweet, aromatic flavour. They are so fragrant that when in season they perfume the markets in Provence with the most heavenly scent and simply taste fantastic! The only downside is that compared to today's modern varieties, the plant lacks vigour and yields are low. "

          I'm now looking for a later variety ( but it'll need to be heat and drought resistant!!)

          I've just picked the last of mine.
