| Hello Dwayne!
|
| Thank you for your answer.
|
| I
| `m planning to grow them in a pot! It is a special potcalled (
fraisière )
| in French. It`s a ceramic pot with 4 pockets on the side.
| You can plant some seeds at the top of the pot and in each of those
| pocket.
|
| The winter here is very cold. Last week it was aroung - 30 Centigrade.
| So, i don`t know what i`m going to do next winter although we have a lot
| of
| strawberries grower in my area. Should I burried the pot in dead leaves
| and
| let it outside, protected from the cold?
|
| You can bury the pot [and plants] for the following season. Strawberry
pots
| are usually unglazed, so be prepared for it to crumble or break within a
few
| years when subjected to winter temperatures.
|
| Also, the growing instruction says that the seeds are veruy slow to
| germinate. Should I start them now knowing the end of April is very nice
| and
| warm outside?
|
| Aim for mid-May and be prepared to protect the young plants from late
frost.
