I've never grown strawberries from their seeds before. I do have two baskets of them, but I've bought those as plants already. I hope your strawberry seeds will germinate.
Good idea of the PVC pipe.
Those cucumber plants look healthy. I've just seeded my cucumbers a few days ago and the first seeds have germinated already.
I like to plant from seeds. The first time I planted strawberries I did so without having any prior knowledge; Now I know that this method works, even for hydroponics.
I'm glad you can buy the seedlings, I don't have a place to buy them here.
I planted several seeds of a cucumber that I allowed to ripen. Although I took few seeds, only 3 seedlings grew.
Of the 3 seedlings, one was broken by a strong breeze in the afternoon. I have these two left that are growing beautifully.
Cool! I should try doing that more often too. I am trying to grow Oxeye plants from the seeds I have collected last year.
I hope you have success planting that seed. I'm afraid I don't know the plant.
Thanks!
These are the flowers; Telekia speciosa
They attract a lot of bees and butterflies.

No wonder you want to plant them, they are so beautiful! They look like a variety of sunflower flowers.
I think they might be family indeed.
