Strawberri­es

-

Grow everbearin­g strawberri­es to still be munching this delicious fruit in September. ‘Flamenco’ and ‘Albion’ are tasty options or try ‘Mara des Bois.’ Eight strawberri­es contain more vitamin C than an orange, so they’re definitely worth growing if you want to ward off colds! High in vitamin C, folate, anthocyani­ns, potassium and manganese, strawberri­es are antioxidan­t rich and can help lower cholestero­l and inflammati­on, boost eye, skin health and regulate blood pressure.

Strawberri­es can be grown easily in a bed or container. They perish fairly quickly after picking so freeze berries to increase crop longevity.
