Looks like Summer!!Perennial garden strawberries come in three main types, defined by when they bear fruit, according to Barbara L. Bowling, author of "The berry Grower's Companion. The three types are June-bearers (also called short-days), day-neutrals and ever-bearers.
June-bearers, are the most widely grown by home gardeners. As their name implies, they produce their crop in June.
Day-neutrals, which are gaining popularity, bear a modest crop along with the June-bearers and then continue to produce fruits into the fall. Day-neutrals, though, generally do not thrive in areas that have hot summers.
Ever-bearers, which sometimes are confused with day-neutrals, bear from early summer into fall but have lower-quality berries than the day-neutrals.
In many areas, if you grow a combination of these types, you will be able to harvest your own sun-ripened strawberries from late May to October every year
