This season's strawberry crop has been through somne "harrowing" blossom threatening frost, but we should still have a very good crop. At somne farms, the "King Bud" (first but) was killed but research has.shown'that when the first bud is removed, the other buds wil compensate and yields won't suffer. This year's cool, wet weather could delay the strawberry harvest. Depending on weather, it usually take s 30 days from strawbcrry bloom to harvest. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food bcrry specialists across the province report that the first estimatcd dates for strawberry harvest arc: June 17 - Simcoe, June 22, - Bowmanvîlle, June 23-25 - Kemptville-Ottawa, July 7-14 -Thiunder Bay. For strawbcrry growcrs, who are promoting carly harvest by utilizing a "row cover" over the strawberries, harvest may be seven days earlier. Strawberries, which were flot mulched with straw over the, winter, also have a "lîead start" on plant and fruit development. These unmulched strawbenries would be more prone to frost and freezing injury, but earliness of harvest can be increased by 7-10 days. Caîl your favourite local strawberry farm for updates on harvest. Strawberry piekers oftpen have a favourite va riety, wh ieh may be destined for fresh use, jam, freezîng or canning.
