I'm wondering if any of you have ever tried growing Strawberries from seed? Johnny's seeds carries some called:
Sarian (F1)
(Fragaria spp.)
Traditional strawberries from seed the first year!
Healthy, dark green plants bear delicious, small to medium-size, deep red berries the first year from midsummer until frost. Ideal for pack sales, containers, and hanging baskets. Plants produce runners. Plants should be mulched in cold winter climates. Resistant to fruit rot and powdery mildew.
I'm thinking about trying some.
Have any of you grown Strawberries from Seed?
Why not??!! I've thought about it before and I would too, if I had the seeds. ~ Suzi :)
I have, but they were little F. vesca Alpine types from eons ago. These must be some modern introductions that I haven't seen. I'd go for it, too. They likely won't have the disease problems you can get from even the most carefully inspected certified sets. The only drawback is waiting an extra season for real yeild, but for some of us, the nurturing thing is half the fun.
