Strawberries from seeds

Has anyone grown strawberries from seeds?
I read about it taking a month of Sundays, but nonetheless I planted few seeds 3 weeks ago and just now tiny teeny weeny green spots appeared. I'm hoping to get them into proper mini plants, but its taking soooooooo long.

Whats the procedure from now? Do they need some extra care, or nutritients or just water and wait and see?

 

Generally you wait until the seedling has it's first true leaves (2nd pair of leaves) then prick out and pot on. I've never grown strawberries from seed so I've had a quick look and you will possibly not have a productive first growing season.

 

Sorry, silly question, what does 'thorning out' mean?
I have the variety that produces constantly, and I'll put it hydroponic as soon as roots are strong enough.
But in the beginning stages it's same as what's done in regular growing.

 

Typo probably; I think it should be thinning out.

 

Ah, ok, yes
Thanks

 

Should have been prick out, gone to edit out the mistake but my original message doesn't have thorn in it

 

Interesting, so they can be grown in domestic setting from seeds.

How long did it take you before they were recognisable as a (small) strawberry plant?

 

Grown everbearing Temptation from seeds and Alpine strawberries - both had berries in the same season. Did sow along with all other seeds. Usual watering, transplanting in individual pots - then planting outside.

 

Everbearing Temptation is what I have.
Excellent, I'm looking forward to getting them to a proper size

 

They look great! And it's been wet cold winter.

 

Hi, I sewed my seeds back in late march early April, i transferred them into pots mid May & into the greenhouse, i know have 12 good size plants with runners sprouting everywhere & one has a flower with what I think is my first strawberry in the centre, I am now clipping the runners & replanting in the hope this will give me another dozen or so plants for next year. in answer to your question & I`m a novice, I had my seeds indoors on the window cill for around 6 weeks or so, then put in pots when they were 2 inches tall
