Strawberry recommendations wanted

I am looking for recommendations of strawberries that do well in my area and have great flavor. I have strawberries in right now (and unfortunately, I don't remember the variety off the top of my head at the moment... I know I have it written down somewhere), but next season, it will be time to start a new bed and replace those plants. I am interested in trying a different variety (or two) as the strawberries I have now are a little too tart for my preference.

I live in Louisa County, VA, and I have heavy red clay soil (which I am working on amending, but it is a slow and steady process). What strawberries are other central VA gardeners growing and loving?

Thanks!

Great question! :) I can't decide of I want to do asparagus or a strawberry first... I've promised my husband there will only be one major gardening project a year.

We planted 1250 plants, 1/2 Clancy and 1/2 Ovation, both which are fairly late but we're much colder and later than you are.

Below is a great place to order both strawberry and asparagus plants. You can call them and they'd be happy to help with selection.

Regards,

Tom
