sowed these in propagator on March 1st, planted 'em out today. 'Temptation' is the variety, should fruit next year!![attachment=1] ;)
They look fab Tony :)
wow i got some strawb seeds in a seed offer will be sowing them when appropriate cant wait now ;D
Brilliant! I've had no luck from seed so cheated and brought 5 or 6 plants from the garden centre now they are fruiting but to be honest I have no patience so no fruit this year would of been hell for me.
I have a plot 10 by 16 feet of strawberries, all started from a supermarket berry. They dont taste the same as the orignal, still ok though, soil, weather etc may effect taste.
How do you get strawberries from a berry from the store? Sorry for being dumb ???
Thanks G x
scrape seed off of fruit, soak this for a couple of days in a glass of water, then rinse any fruit residue off in a sieve. ;) ( be wary, most commercial strawberries are F1, so not all will come true from seed, but some will though!)
Have you had many runners off these tonybloke I bought then as advertised "virtually runner free! " I only sown them in Jan and have already had several runners off each plant
