Strawberry Sparkle The Sparkle Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa 'Sparkle', is a sweet, June bearing strawberry with glossy, crimson red fruit. This strawberry shows good resistance to disease and is great for fresh eating, freezing and preserves. It is also self-pollinating. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. 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. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries.

Blackberries are a delicious gourmet treat that may be eaten fresh or used in cobbler, cake, sauce, jam, jelly or syrup.
