Alpine Strawberries
« on: March 18, 2013, 10:06 »
I've seeded some Alpine Strawberries for the first time. The've all come up & now have 3 leaves on each.  But, the leaves are so tiny that they look near on impossible to handle ;).  I wonder if it would be best to pot them on in clumps rather than individually.  Has anyone else seeded these before?
Love my husband, my animals & my garden!

Lucky you, I got 3 out of my packet  ::) Mine were sprinkled over modules, so I've just left them in those for now.

Put some plantlets out around my apple tree and decided to mulch them out last year - they were detting everywhere! - and no fruit worth tasting!

I bought seeds 4 years ago when up in Scotland.  I didn't think they would grow, but got quite a few.  These I transplanted individually when they were big enough and grew them in my greenhouse for 2 years, then put them outside in a huge pot.  The runners are coming up now for a new year!

they do freely seed all over in cracks in the path ect I find they do well under deciduous shrubs. Pot them up inwhatever way you find best they are very hardy.

I would pot (or module) them individually to avoid root tangles.
As said before they are very hardy and though the berries may not be as large or as sweet as other strawbs there is every chance you could pick a dozen berries for your breakfast cereal on Dec 25th ! :)
