How to Get Strawberry Seeds and Grow It - Gardening Tips

Strawberries are available at grocery stores, but you can produce strawberries for far less by planting a few seeds. Strawberry plants (Fragaria) are hardy in U.S.

 Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 10, depending on the variety. Strawberries picked fresh from the vine yield the healthiest, most viable seeds.

 Strawberry seeds are located around the exterior of the flesh, though not necessarily where you think they are! Strawberries aren't actually berries,

 and what you think are the seeds on the outside of the flesh are actually the fruit of the strawberry plant! Luckily, however, there's a seed located within each one of those tiny fruits, which are actually called achenes, so all you have to do is remove those from the strawberry. There are several ways to harvest the seeds, including scraping, blending, and drying.
