Yep got a load of strawberry 'temptation' plants from seed, grown last year, not allowed to fruit, will be picking them this year, though!!
(they take ages to germinate) ;)

Thanks TB. Those are the ones I've seen but it says if planted early enough they should fruit this year.

[tonybloke]

they will, but you build stronger plants by removing the flowers in the first year (apparently) ;)

Will I get plants for this year if I sow the seeds soon.

Having a go for the first time growing Alpine Strawbs from seed. They say they should fruit in the first year but now I am wondering whether to remove the flowers and fruits this year  ???

I grew Alpine Strawbs from seed this year and they were still fruiting in December!  The variety was Mignonette.
