    Hi

    New to the forum done a lot of research into growing strawberries and starting them from seed about a month ago I started the germination process about 2 weeks ago the first signs of growth showed since then a few more seeds have germinated and the first one has grew so much and so quick but now not sure if it's a strawberry plant as it looks nothing like the others and noting I have seen online what do you's think any advice would be appreciated

      Thanks everyone for your help I'm gutted as with further inspection and checking online at dandelion seedlings most of my thought to be strawberry plants turned out to be dandelions there are a few I'm not to sure about what do you guys think

      I also have 110 sonata seeds germinating in the same soil I used for my first strawberry batch so fingers crossed that this soil is not full of dandelion seeds

      I am growing Sonata, my seeds were from strawberries that I bought from Waitrose.

      There was a bruised strawberry so I decided to ditch it, I soaked the strawberry
      in some water, macerated it and collected the dropped seeds. I planted them and a lot
      have come up.

      The strawberries were delicious, I hope these plants give strawberries that
      taste the same.:)
