here; am glad to be here.Noticed your post, Tom,--if you haven;t either gone
ahead, or decidedagainst your strawberry growing then you might still be
interested toknow that if you're still wondering, then, No, strawberries from
seedare quite easy, I've found. At this point I think you might want to
consider getting Temptationplants to start with instead of seed, ideal
starting time being butstarting seeds could still bring substantial and
worthwhile berriesthis year--especially if you grow in containers so that
they can bebrought inside. They're perennials anyway, so much of your
harvest would stand tocome in future years anyway.Perhaps you're well
familiar with other everbearing strawberriessometimes used-from plants
instead of seeds-- for container-growing.In case not, the following are a
couple alternatives for quick results-------The day-neutral Tristar, good in
containers since it fruits onunrooted runners like "alpines."
-------Quinault, (a possibly hard to categorize "everbearer" seems tome
probably weakly or partially day-neutral) -- also surprisinglydoes fruit on
its dangling unrooted runners. Eric.
