Hay 986 My wife and I have had great luck with the Jersey Knight Hybrid, and especiallythe Purple Passion from Gurneys. We have had these variaties in three 4"X 12"X10" high beds for 6 years. We freeze enough to carry carry us for each season, and in the past gave excess away, or let it go to seed. We stop harvesting mid june and let it grow to produce seed. In the fall we cut the stalks at just below ground level, strip the berries and brodcast then back in the boxes and compost the stalks. In the spring we top dress the beds with cow manure scraped up off the blacktop barnyard from the farm. My dad has a conventional patch which is 60 years old. He spreads common table salt on it each year which controls grass and weeds. It will take you a couple of years to get the roots established to provide you with a harvestable crop.Plant it and enjoy it. Just a tip if you want to freeze it, take each stalk and bend/ break it in half. Cut the top half to desired lenghts, and peal the skin off the bottom half and cut to length, blanch and freeze all. Good luck The Acg.
