Growing Strawberries From Seeds of Store Bought Fruit

Tips, Tricks

1. they are forceps from medical labs
2. Try using a tea strainer?
3. Hey man.....unfortunately I don't have a link to it but there's a great video on you tube about saving tomato seeds. look for it..... it explains about mashing adding water covering a glass full of pulp and seeds and letting it ferment. A. the good seeds sink. B after 3-5days you can simply top up the glass with water and poor out the pulp and unwanted stuff. after 3 times or more you'll be left with just seeds. try it with a tomato first and then hopefully it works with your strawberries. .....good luck! cheers!
4. Simply dry your strawberries first and then you can edge on the sides and get the seats off but if you dry 1015 20 of them for say you can put them in a large bag and just banging them together rubbing them on each other you don't end up with a bag full of seeds
5. How deep should the pot be if there germinated
6. I managed to just cut my strawberry skin off and poped it in some all purpose soil and they just grew. the only trick I used was I put a folded paper towel over the top and kept it damp (Im in Australia so Im not sure if thats why mine are growing amazingly quick)
7. This is brilliant! Thanks, man! (You have a new subscriber!)
8. Hello, I wanted to make berry party favor plants for my wedding (It would be great to have a berry plant sense were going to be Mr. and Mrs. Berry) but I dont have time for the seeds to sit in the freezer for so long is there any other types of fruit seeds that will be able to sprout very fast like with in a few weeks time without being put in the freezer something I can just throw into the soil and let sprout? BTW I do not garden this will be the 1st time ever I will be growing a plant and I have to make like 100 of them :)
9. how long are you gonna talk?
10. What I am going to try is ....taking the strawberries and cut them up in pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 sizes, put them out in the sun and turn them for 3 days until they are over the fruit roll-up stage...after this stage, cut up the pieces with your fingernails,you can have 4-6 seeds per spot, the plants will be healthy, will be somewhat thick,but that is o.k.....they look more healthy, because the plants are so close together......and they are.
11. I just started growing strawberry seeds about last year , and not to long ago they actually started to sprout .:D
12. cheese cloth
13. couldn't you just use frozen strawberries? why do you have to freeze the seeds and for how long?
14. Nice video!
    AND
    I am old enough to get the Monty Python joke!!
15. Actually, I have a set of strainers from the $1 store, 1 of which is so fine that even kiwi seeds won't go through it. In case you're interested in reattempting the blender method (rather than popping them off one-by-one), I liked the note on this page (http://strawberryplants.org/2010/05/strawberry-seeds/) about using the blender method to separate the strawberry seeds: After no more than 5 sec. of blending, allow the mixture to set for a minute or two, allowing time for the viable seeds to sink. The pulp & remaining seeds will float to the top for you to pour off before rinsing the remaining, good seeds (which you could probably do without the strainer, using a few layers of cheesecloth).
    
    Also, 2 more points you might find helpful - when I work with really tiny seeds (like coleus or poppy), I use a fine dust of peat to mix them with and then just put the whole mess in a sieve and sift it on top of the growing medium before I spray it.
    
    Finally, I like your use of the coir. Where I live in the Southwest, we have a lot of reptile enthusiasts who use this as their pets' bedding. When one of my friends changes out the bedding, he gives me the old coir to use in my compost. If you like using coir as a medium, as you're doing here, try hooking up with a reptile enthusiast; it'll save you some $. Anything I can do to keep things out of the landfill is always a plus (I do the same thing with plastic food containers as you're doing here - nice touch).
16. the high quality strainers can be bought online have so small of a mesh that it takes work to get water through they are smaller and slightly pricey but are helpful for this.
17. Those seeds won't be true to the parent, but you can grow the alpine varieties from seed (much cheaper than buying plants). You can get the seeds on the internet. The 'Yellow Wonder' variety has an amazing flavour and the birds aren't interested - it's yellow, so they think it's not ripe.
