Here is your chance to order Earliglow strawberry plants, $10 for a bundle of 25 plants, and Jersey Knight asparagus crowns, $13 for a bundle of 10 crowns, from the Cumberland County 4-H Advisory Committee at a great price.
Earliglow is a popular early-season variety that grows well in nearly all soil types and will produce medium to large, full-flavored fruit for eating fresh or for freezing. Jersey Knight asparagus crowns are a mid-season variety, which typically yields three or four times more top-quality asparagus than other varieties. Besides being delicious, asparagus is an excellent source of vitamins K, C and E.
The plants will be available for local pick-up on Saturday, April 20, at the 4-H Center in Deerfield Township. Orders will be taken until Friday, March 22. Anyone interested in purchasing plants you can go to cumberlandnj4H.com and print out the form, call the 4-H Center at 856-451-2800, ext. #3, or e-mail kimga@CumberlandCountyNJ.gov to request an order form.
