The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (AgriLife) will host a Strawberry Field Day–beginning with strawberry research and following with a field tour–on March 5 in Weslaco, according AgriLife Today.
The field day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 11:30 a.m. It is free and open to the public, and of special interest to home gardeners, farmers market growers and commercial growers, according to Dr. Juan Anciso, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service fruit and vegetable specialist.
Anciso has been growing strawberries as part of a grant from the National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative and is part of the Texas Strawberry Project Team, whose goal is to make strawberries a mainstream Texas-produced delicacy.
