New Varieties
I’m a sucker for trying new varieties of all kinds of things, especially vegetables. I have six different kinds of strawberries in the garden and I just acquired a new one.
These ‘Old North Sea’ strawberries were said to have been found on an ancient ancient, viking village site in Denmark.
I thought this variety would be a nice addition to my collection of interesting strawberries. It should be interesting to see how it performs and reproduces in the garden. I’m looking forward to tasting one of the berries next summer.
Do you collect different varieties of the same plant?

You grew these from seed? How difficult is that to do?

I didn’t grow these specific plants from seed, but I have grown strawberries from seed a few different times. It’s not difficult, but they can take a while to germinate and they are tiny plants for a while.

So you grew these from seeds? Is that hard?

Not really, they take a while to mature.
