My latest variety try… earli glow.
Berry flavor… excellent
Early harvest… yes… picked those April 27.
Disease resistence… not so good. Lost many plants to some kind of fungal issue (I think).
The leaves and stems and just turn brown and it sort of rots.
They may be better in a cooler/dryer climate… but have proved to be not tuf enough for southern middle TN.

Does anyone have reports on Benton strawberry?
My French wife is quite the chef, and follows a lot of the cooking fashions in France, and occasionally she becomes convinced that there is a must-have fruit or vegetable that she’s lacking.
The latest request from her is the Benton strawberry. It seems OWG carries it but is out of stock. I am curious if folks have any reports on this berry
I did find this one post on this forum; seems potentially very sweet: $50 Strawberries - #3 by cdamarjian
