Hey, just out of curiosity, if I like throw some strawberries into the ground, will strawberries eventually grow? They would, right? Like, that's how you garden?
The short answer is, yes, thatโs the basic idea.
But itโs always helpful to know how things work, and that way you can boost your chances for successful germination โ and youโll end up with many more plants and many more strawberries. Thatโs how you garden.
Firstly, you donโt need to throw the whole strawberry into the ground. All the seeds of a strawberry are on the surface, so you can (carefully!) scrape off a bunch with a knife, while trying not to take too much of the fruit flesh. Then you can still eat the berries, because theyโre both delicious and very good for you. Use them to make a smoothie or something.
Strawberry seeds also need to be cold stratified โ gardening jargon which means that theyโre more likely to germinate if you freeze them for a while first. In nature, this is because if they germinate before winter, the plants will die. So if you want to grow your plants soon rather than next year, put the seeds in an airtight container (ideally without any fruit pulp) and put them in the freezer for 3 or 4 weeks. When youโre thawing them out, keep the container sealed until it reaches room temperature.ย
Then if you sow your seeds, theyโre much more likely to germinate. Give each one plenty of space too, and more plants will grow to maturity. Maybe plant the seeds in flower pots or seed trays so you can take good care of them and make sure they get enough water and light. Then when theyโre large enough, you can transplant them into the ground and let them go wild.
Incidentally, in nature, the whole fruit would be unlikely to just fall to the ground and stay there. They tend to get eaten by animals first. In fact theyโre designed that way, which is why the seeds are on the outside. If a bird nibbles on one (and they always do, believe me) itโll eat several seeds. The seeds will pass right through the bird undigested, and theyโll grow somewhere else after the bird poops them out.

So my thirteen year old brother always asks to use my video camera. And I never knew why. But today I opened iMovie for the first time in months and THIS IS WHAT I FOUND.
