Did you buy them on Eb@y, Gema? http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ine_82960.html -
No I got them off amazon. Tried seeds from the company before for purple carrots, lemon cucumber and a psychedelic veg and they were all great.Comment

Sorry to put a dampener on it, but the only times I have heard of black strawbs are fake or have been created by splicing with fish dna
There is a purple variety but not available in the uk as far as I am aware
Purple Strawberries | Strawberry Plants .org
I am intrigued tho, so please let us know how you get on.Last edited by Norfolkgrey; 07-01-2015, 11:12 AM.Comment

I always read reviews before I click the "buy now" button:Originally posted by Gema13 View Post

Although the people who gave it 5 stars (top marks) hadn't even got the seeds planted
One person who got the seeds to germinate said this: "These are not strawberries - I don't know what they are exactly, they smell slightly minty, but none of the plants from any of the seeds I got grew into anything even remotely resembling a strawberry plant."

Could possibly be Yield TS.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Hi, I do read reviews for all items, however I have found that a lot of the reviews can be the opposite of what you feel. I like to new, things and they looked interesting. The worst that happens is they aren't what it says on the packet, so to speak. Apologies for the typo, held was meant to be yield. New tablet for Xmas that I can't turn the predicted text off yet and I generally tend to be doing several things at once with a two year, old in tow.Originally posted by Two_Sheds View PostComment

If you're determined to grow these seeds, I hope you'll tell us what they're like.Comment
