Strawberry - Cyclone - Sale Price: $42.75 The Cyclone Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa 'Cyclone', is a popular June bearing strawberry. Cyclone produces a medium sized berry of good quality. It is well known for its desert quality and hardiness. It is well suited for the Mid-West. One of the most important aspects of a healthy strawberry patch is location -- a minimum of six hours of sunlight a day. Although you can get a harvestable crop with as little as six hours of direct sunlight per day, the largest harvests and best quality berries come from those plants that get the advantage of full sun. They are perennial, winter hardy, and will thrive in full sunshine, as long as the soil is fertile and well drained. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. Your strawberry bed should have good drainage and be well tilled with rich organic matter such as manure or compost to give your strawberry plants a good start, with amendments again in the spring. Keep your plants well watered until they are established (but don't overdo) and up to fruiting time. Strawberries can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets. In addition to being low in fat and calories, strawberriesare naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and antioxidants, making them a sweet choice that advances heart health, reduces the risk of certain types of cancer, and gives a boost to total body (and mind) wellness. NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries.

Grape - Petite Amiâ„¢ - Sale Price: $49.95 The Petit Ami Grape, 'Vitis 'Petit Ami', 'DM-8313-1 CV' (PP17,773), is a white grape that makes an excellent Muscat wine with just a hint of rose petal in the nose. Petit Ami Grape has a healthy vine with average productivity, good sugar/acid levels. Shown to be hardy in milder regions of zone 4. This grape has nice size clusters. It was developed in Central Minnesota so the winter hardiness is good and also good plant vigor. This wine goes very well with salmon, any spicy dish such as Mexican, Thai and Indian, as well as cheese. This grape tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, but must have good drainage. Grapes are primarily grown for fruit production in home fruit gardens where they provide good ornamental value: bold summer foliage, showy fruit, some fall color and shaggy, twisted trunking and branching often best seen in winter. Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share.
