Strawberries are often grouped according to their flowering habit. Traditionally, they are divided between "June" are those that produce fruit early in the summer, and "all stations", which give several crops of fruit throughout the season. More recently, research has shown that strawberries have three basic flowering habits: short-day, long-day and day-neutral. Sensitivity refers to the length of day and the type of plant photoperiod to induce flower formation. Day neutral cultivars produce flowers unaffected by photoperiod. Many commercial varieties of strawberry are both short day as neutral.
Although only rarely commercially, strawberries can spread by seed, and some seed-propagated cultivars have been developed for home use. The seeds are commercially available, or are removed from fruit matured early in summer. When planted, both exterior with protective cover, or in pots, or even better in March under glass, producing fruit in June of that year. The soil should be rich and light, and the seeds very slightly covered by sifting over them, along with leaf litter or old cow manure, well rotted. When seedlings appear and you have five or six leaves, transplant to remain there to grow. The seeds in pots can help with some heat, and when the seedlings are already stronger, is chiming in fine rich soil, and in June transferred to ground out to grow.
