Well, I planted those seeds last spring and out of the 50 I was supposed to have, I got up two tiny seedlings. One died promptly and one developed 4 leaves and even with heavy pampering, alas it also just withered and died. I have no idea what happened except it was very delicate to begin with. I was deeply disappointed. I wanted so bad to get these started, but I don't think I am very good at starting strawberry seed. Anyone out there growing these black strawberry plants?? I'd love to hear from you.
