      I think it took about a year to get to this size. The order slip is on my work PC, I will check for the exact date tomorrow

      A very good size for one year old plant! I have tried to sow strawberries before but no luck!

      At least you should get some more plants off the runners they produce, :D

      It's 432 days old :D I received the seeds on 30 July 2010
      Thanks :D Hopefully the next time you attempt it you'll get successful :D
      Very true, I'm keenly waiting for it to get runners but none are in sight at the moment :scratch:
      Thanks :D
