I was in a seed swap in February. In the swap I received a pack of Alpine strawberry seeds. It was a commercial pack from a seed company. I read the planting instructions on the back of the package. I also checked the internet. I put the package of seeds into the refrigerator for 90 days. I planted the seeds and got great germination. Today I planted over 70 plants into their perminate location.

Don't forget to save some seeds since Alpines don't make runners usually and you will need seeds to replace old plants or expand, etc. The fruit is small but very tasty!
I will save seeds. A few plants did bloom and I ate one strawberry this week. Last night the temperature got down to 25 degrees. That will end the production for this year. Don
What a great story, Don. You had good success and it must have been such a good feeling to eat that first strawb. You have lots of plants now and I reckon that next year you ought to be rolling in those red fruits. Well done.
