I don't think I have seen seeds for "ordinary" Strawberries, but I expect you can get them. The seedlings I bought last year did quite well.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-20477867730027824822013-04-18T11:35:43.686+01:002013-04-18T11:35:43.686+01:00The ones you sowed in autumn have come on well.

You are right though you do need plenty of plants to get a useable harvest.

Do they have that taste like the wild ones? And are there seeds for all season strawberries? I've been buying seedlings any every time they tell me "ooh yes they will have fruits all summer" and nothing :(--Ana--https://www.blogger.com/profile/04065067119159738087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-28386889685513471462013-04-17T22:37:47.493+01:002013-04-17T22:37:47.493+01:00such pretty leaf shapes in the first photo - I use...such pretty leaf shapes in the first photo - I used to have some once not sure why they disappeared - story of my life.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-38508552383872411022013-04-17T21:07:36.663+01:002013-04-17T21:07:36.663+01:00The last photo is just amazing!

You can grow more plants in less space. I haven't tried them myself, but they seem to be popular here in the USA.<br />We seem to have missed Spring altogether. Winter (with freezing temperatures) stayed with us until the end of March, and now we are into hot weather (85F - 29C today). My lettuce just sat there all through March, then suddenly Lettuce glut! I planted my Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans this week. Plan to set out tomatoes and peppers as soon as I get a place prepared for them. I was lazy over the winter, and let weeds and grass take over. Got all that to dig out.<br />Happy Gardening!<br />Lea<br />Lea's Menagerie<br />Southeastern USA<br /> Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-90599351044269017352013-04-17T18:44:01.304+01:002013-04-17T18:44:01.304+01:00I sowed some a couple of weeks back, still far too...I sowed some a couple of weeks back, still far too tiny to prick out yet.
