Has anyone gron strawberries from seed & have they been any good.
Janet.
Yep got a load of strawberry 'temptation' plants from seed, grown last year, not allowed to fruit, will be picking them this year, though!!
(they take ages to germinate) ;)
Thanks TB. Those are the ones I've seen but it says if planted early enough they should fruit this year.
Janet.
they will, but you build stronger plants by removing the flowers in the first year (apparently) ;)
Will I get plants for this year if I sow the seeds soon.

Yes you will get plants :)
Having a go for the first time growing Alpine Strawbs from seed. They say they should fruit in the first year but now I am wondering whether to remove the flowers and fruits this year ???
