Things You Didn't Know About Strawberries

Sparkle--(Fairfax x Aberdeon)--Home gardeners take note! This is the BEST variety for homemade jam and freezing. Its winter hardiness and late blooming characteristics make it ideal for home gardens and small commercial farms without frost protection. The soft, medium-sized berry falls off to small as the season progresses. But, these berries are the tastiest, smooth textured berries you can find. Sparkle has been grown for years in the Midwest, but has lost favor with commercial growers because of its small berry size and soft fruit. But, it is still a long-standing favorite with home gardeners, who still actively plant it because it's the BEST you can grow for making preserves.
