Good information; thanks.
I also found this at doityourself.com ... "There are many different varieties of strawberries; however, all fall into one of three categories: June-bearing, everbearing or day neutral. June-bearing strawberries produce a large, concentrated crop once a year during a three-week period, usually in June as their name suggests. Everbearing, also called ever bearing, strawberries produce two crops of strawberries, one in the spring and another in the late summer or fall. Day neutral are often considered new improved everbearers. They are capable of bearing fruit continuously from June through September. Day neutral strawberries prefer cooler temperatures, however, and will not flower or bear fruit during hot weather."
As you suggested, I think I will continue to remove the blossoms from my new planting of Everbearers, through the Spring and early Summer. Then, I will stop (maybe around July?), and wait to see if those Everbearers set a Fall crop.
FYI, I planted the "Tribute" variety of Everbearing strawberries.
