• Northeaster—ripens about the same time as Earliglow. It is resistant to red stele and does well on heavier clay soils. The berries are large and have a hint of grape flavor, which some people love and others dislike. • Sable—has excellent flavor and also ripens early. • Allstar—a reliable producer with large light red to orange, sweetflavored berries. • Honeoye, Cavendish, Kent, Raritan, Redchief, and Scott—good midseason strawberries. • Jewel—the most widely grown variety in the Northeast, it has excellent flavor.

The plants do not tolerate extremes in pH, either below 5.5 or above 7.0.

See the picture of Ben Zobrist on the rst day he lmed with Jaime in the winter of 2007. Next to it is Ben during the All-Star break midseason in 2008. His much-improved Slot position is obvious.
