Hi Delmarstio1991,

I've always been told that those spikey points on the surface of strawberrys were the seeds. "The only vegetable with the seeds on the outside of the fruit" or a similar saying. If you try "planting a strawberry in the dirt and watering it every day" and it works, please let us know.

I had strawberrys for several years in my garden. The vines would take root at each leaf place that touched the ground and in the fall, they were large enough for transplanting. That's the only way I have ever seen the berrys propagated.

Here is an interesting item for you all. (from the "weekend gardener" show a few years back) "Strawberrys were first called strayberries because they would spread by the vines taking root and they were seen to stray in all directions from the mother plant. Over time, the name changed to strawberry."

Best regards,
Mack1
