I finished and filled two more raised beds last week and planted 24 strawberry starts. In one bed there is a June-bearing variety called Sparkle which is our favorite tasting strawberry. In the other, an ever-bearing kind called Fort Laramie. I bought fewer than I want with the hopes of training the runners to fill out the boxes by next year.
