Raspberry - Brandywine Raspberry
Raspberry 'Brandywine', Rubus idaeus 'Brandywine, is a true purple berry since it is a cross of red and black raspberries. It has been called the ‘best purple raspberry’. Raspberry Brandywine is a less invasive plant and stays put where it is planted. It is important to trellis Brandywine for support since trellising affects plant growth rate, competition with suckers, harvesting methods, fruit quantity and quality; also helps with disease and insect pest management. It has larger and wider spaced thorns than the red raspberry; plant has spines or sharp edges; use extreme caution when handling. The large, full flavored berries are great for making wonderful jam, jelly and pies; also used in making wine and other spirits. These purple raspberries have intense flavor and aroma and are a treat for any gardener! Large, round, firm berries dangle from vigorous, fairly erect canes that are strong and heavy. Plant them 3-5 feet apart within rows, and 12 feet apart between rows. At the end of the harvest season in summer, prune to ground level. Raspberries are rich source of vitamin C and they are high in manganese. They are also very high in dietary fiber. Eat them for taste and health!

Strawberry - All Star - DetailsStrawberry - All Star - Sale Price: $39.95
The All Star Strawberry, 'Fragaria x ananassa 'All Star', has excellent flavor and the plant is resistant to verticillium wilt disease. The entire crop ripens in June, mid to late season. This plant produces large, firm berries with high sugar content over interesting 3-lobed, toothed leaves on extremely vigorous plants. 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, strawberries are 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.
