Default Strawberry seeds

Hi All

After a good few weeks of waiting I have two strawberry shoots emerging from
their seeds. One is standing up from the soil but the other is laying on top
and looks to have no furry white base like the first. Is this ok or not?

Well, you'll know by now ;-)

If it's laying down but otherwise OK it'll sort itself out, if it's
laying down and limp it's probably rotted off.

Don't expect every seed to germinate or every seedling to make it to
adulthood. And expect sometimes to find nothing at all germinates! It's
not necessarily you, it's just that sometimes you hit just the right
conditions, sometimes you don't.
