Happening this Thursday morning! Don’t forget to register for the BGO Research Review Day. Join via Zoom to hear the latest work in pathology, entomology and weed management in strawberries (field and greenhouse), raspberries and blueberries. Berry Growers of Ontario

It’s time! Straw is starting to come off in strawberry fields. If the field is dry enough, remove straw to expose plants to the sun. Late straw removal reduces yield. Crowns in straw covered fields are looking good so far. 🍓

Pretty in pink! The sunshine brought on lots of pink over the weekend and even heading into king bloom for these Silkens.

Our Twilight meeting is happening this upcoming Wednesday! BGO members have a chance to meet, tour the farm and enjoy a delicious meal. RSVP to [email protected]. Thank you to our sponsors N. M. Bartlett Inc. and Cohort Wholesale. 🫐
