@hargshirl how are your strawberries getting on? About 10 weeks growth on these zzzzzzzzzz so slow. #gyo #strawberry

Wow @bella_belle they are looking good though. I'll grab a pic in the morn xxx

@linfoster

@linfoster they are so tiny I am too afraid to touch them yet x

#advice #strawberry seeds planted 4 weeks ago. Should they be this small? True leaves starting to come through. Do I leave them on the kitchen window and have patience or chuck them if they are not growing right. They are in seed compost at the minute, I am worried there will not be enough nutrients to make them grow now. I'm very new to growing. Lol 🍓strawberry ruler a happy coincidence!! 🍓

Nearly forgot to tag you @hargshirl!!

Strawberry seeds are very very slow growers, you will need bucketfuls of patience with them. Keep them carefully tended; they're also very delicate.

@zylo when you say #tended what do you mean exactly... Just watered? @bella_belle thank you xx

Thanks @zylo enjoying watching them progressing finally. So proud to see their first wee jaggy leaf lol will have some patience yet with them.

@harshgirl; given their current size, Id recommend staying heartily clear of wrkng ae

@harshgirl @ bella_belle sorry, hit send button. I'd recommend staying well clear of watering from above, perhaps use a spray or a drip irrigation otherwise the large water drops are big enough to plaster the seeds to the soil or even wash them out entirely. No need to fertilize at the moment, & keep in sunlight, though keep it at around room temprature.

Perfect thank you @zylo x

@zylo thank you I did feel like I was overwatering mine 🙈

@harshgirl no problem :) just ensure the wa

@harshgirl just ensure the surface is moist, those baby roots dont go deep.
