Because of the repeated cool spells, both my Chandler (Junebearing) and Quinault (Everbearing) are still cranking out berries. The flavor of the Chandler has improved since we have not had much rain lately. Still, I like the Quinault better between the two. Also, the Chandler is showing susceptibility to fruit Anthracnose, so I should have been spraying with Daconil more often.
I am thinking that I will rip out the Chandler and, this fall, I will plant Quinault in September, mowing down all the leaves, and treat it as a Junebearing variety. Or maybe try another variety like Allstar.
