Have the strawberries sprouted?
Comments (1)The larger seedlings with the serrated leaves in the lower area and right side of the picture are alpine strawberries. Based on size, they look to be about 3 weeks old so the timing's about right too ... it wouldn't surprise me to see more come up since they don't all come up at the same time. Can't tell on some of the smaller other ones until they get their first set of true leaves....See MoreLocal source of alpine strawberry plant/seeds?
Comments (1)Hi Philly gardener, I grow different kinds of alpines and this summer will have plants to trade with you, they are just coming up now but as far as seed co. go, they are very expensive. But the place I buy where the germ. rate seems pretty good is www.fraisesdesbois.com which is now a part of www.strawberrystore.com there are others like www.tradewinds.com and www.superseeds.com This year I am crossing 2 different kinds, mignonette and pineapple crush, which is a red variety with a white. I have growing, Delious, White soul, mignonette,pineapple crush,fragila di bosco,regina,golden alexandria,(reg)alexandria, holiday and four seasons....See Morecold treat for alpine strawberry seeds
Comments (6)For southern California: Fill a 6- or 9-pack with damp starter soil, sprinkle seeds over the soil, mist with water or camomile tea from a spray bottle, seal in a plastic bag, and put in the back of your fridge for at least 2 months. Then open up, put with your other seed-starting packs and treat as normal. For cold-winter areas: Fill a 6 or 9-pack with damp starter soil, sprinkle seeds over soil, mist with water or camomile tea, and put outside on the north side of the house when the first significant snow of the year is forcast. The plan is for the planter to get burried in the snow and stay that way until spring. If there is not enough snow cover through the winter to keep the planter covered, water once a week. In the spring, watch for little plants to start springing up long before you expect them! Catherine...See MoreAlpine Strawberry Seeds
Comments (3)I have only one Alpine strawberry that I started from seed and it's going into it's 3rd year. Mine did produce fruit the first year from about July. Last year it produced plenty of small super sweet berries unfortunately slugs ruined many of them. Mine is in full sun and prefers LOTS of water. I haven't done anything special in the winter....See Moremcantrell
