I have grown strawberries from runners and shallots from shallot sets, but I don't like to do things the easy way all the time
There's not a lot of strawberry seed around but I managed to find Mignonette and Baron Solemacher. A few of each have now germinated - after a week on a windowsill - much better than ones I tried in December.
Similarly, the shallots - Ambition and Matador have been sown indoors into plugs. They are up and growing well - although Matador is apparently less eager. They'll be going into the greenhouse at the weekend.
I aborted all the brassicas and lettuce I sowed early and will be re-sowing again this weekend.
