Strawberry plants, questions, different types? *DIALUP WARNING*

3. I can identify the spade-leafed weeds

you are growing....they are lamb's quarter. It is a common weed, but it is edible, especially when young before they flower (you hardly see the "flowers&quot . Just take a leaf and eat it to see it is like a lettuce, and can be added to salads. But I don't suppose you want to purposely grow them.

As to strawberries, I have to agree that you should just buy some plants. I am surprised that you got any to grow from commercial strawberries from the store, so kudos to you for that.....but they may not fruit as you expect if they are some hybrid.
