Last year I decided to renew my strawberry bed. I bought some strawberry seeds hoping I’d manage to grow some fruits from the seeds and to my surprise all of the seeds germinated really quickly.<\/p>\n

The strawberries I bought were kept in pots until September when I’ve transplanted them to the garden. They survived winter and started growing in spring.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I thought I bought strawberries similar to the ones I had at home. The only thing written on the bag was “everbearing strawberries” and on the photo, they were pretty big so I just assumed they were similar. Boy was I wrong.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once they started growing this spring I noticed that the strawberries weren’t like the “normal” strawberries. The foliage didn’t format a single plant bush, my leaves looked more like a carpet of strawberry leaves. <\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My suspicions were confirmed in June when they started forming stems and flowering. I got Alpine strawberries.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This made me laugh because there was no real need to sow them because my orchard is full of them. They are native here and grow wild. I could have just dig them out and transplant them into the garden.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Don’t get me wrong, they are delicious and their smell is wonderful, but I’d need a bunch to be able to prepare anything from them. They are also a pain to harvest. Half an hour and you get a handful of strawberries. So I guess I will be getting more strawberries next year, but this time I think I will buy seedlings. <\/p>\n
