Learning how to grow strawberries is such a rewarding way to grow your own food. Truly, nothing in this world tastes better than a perfectly ripe strawberry picked straight from the plant. Strawberries are among the easiest fruits to grow, but you do need a little know-how to get the best possible crops. Follow the basic rules of growing strawberries, and you will enjoy a bountiful harvest from spring to fall.
June-bearing strawberries, which produce one strong, sweet and juicy crop between spring and early summer. Notable varieties include include Allstar, Annapolis, Camarosa, Earliglow, Gariguette, Honeoye, Kent, Northeaster, Purple Wonder, Sequoia, Surecrop, and Tillamook.
Everbearing strawberries, which will produce fruit from summer to fall, usually in two crops with a gap in between. Consider trying Everest, Fort Laramie, Jewel, Ozark Beauty, Quinault, Tribute, and Tristar.
Day-neutral strawberries, which produce large, firm fruits from summer into fall. Popular varieties include Albion, Aromas, Elsanta, Evie-2, Monterey, Portola, San Andreas, and Seascape.

In addition to the three main types, you can also grow wild strawberries, which produce small but sweet berries, and make good edging plants and ground cover.
Alpine strawberries are a popular type of wild strawberry to grow, with delicious varieties including Mignonette and Red Wonder. Unlike other types of strawberries, alpine strawberries don’t usually produce runners and so must be grown from seed.
As flavor and cropping time vary so much, it’s a good idea to plant multiple varieties to keep you in stock of strawberries from late spring to early fall.
