12. We no longer know.

We started with 3 different varieties,
but after 7 years, who knows what is what anymore?
The original varieties were Sequoia (June Bearing), and Arkansas Beauties (Ever-Bearing), and another June Bearing variety that I can't remember anymore.

The Strawberries are the most High Maintenance of anything we grow here.
They require a lot of Bend Over/Sore Lower Back labor,
but are worth it.
