Also, since the fruits are off the ground, they are easier to look after and pick, and they are also less vulnerable to slugs and snails. If you grow a combination of different varieties, it is possible to have sweet, fresh strawberries from late spring right through autumn. Each variety has a short but heavy cropping period of two to three weeks.
