Topic: Amazing year for strawbs!

[barkingdog]

can i ask if anyone starts their strawbs from seed, and if so when would be a good time to set some off? oh, and will they be productive next year? thank you gg   x xx

I started some strawberry seed in January. The seeds were part of the great Wyevale 25p seed sale!

As yet I have good plants (producing runners) but no flowers or fruit  :'(

Do you think they'll fruit next year?

Picked a pound in the garden and another 3Ib on the allotment!  I have never known strawbs like it.  Fabulous.  Not a complaint.  I should do something delicious with them, but then nothing is as amazing as freshly picked, sun ripened English strawberries, and I can't help but eat them fresh and raw.
