RE: First Harvest of the Year: The Wild Strawberry - and How to Propagate
Awesome. I love wild strawberries. And great for you. Lots of vitamin C and other good stuff. I've planted and watched them propagate with runners. And I've heard you need to keep a mix of mature plants and new ones from runners to keep the patch productive. I've never tried to start strawberries from seeds. Great post!
They say the strawberry puts out for a good 5 years, then the production really starts to diminish. Most of the runners they send out I let root in the bed. Wild strawberry seeds usually take a week or two to germinate, but it might be quicker for someone with a seed tray warmer, I just left mine outside in the shade - it's the right season.
