bookreader451- I have them in ambient sun throughout the day. Even shaded outside they begin to wilt and fall then to eventually die. These are still seedlings so I think they are being a little tempremental about something. I can't strike a balance it seems. I have them in a hanging 12" diameter pot. They aren't having many more starting symptoms other than just laying down and over a course of a few days wilting up into little nothing.

It is such a new learning experience out here! At my old house I could accidentally drop seeds and would have more than desired... It isn't so easy here. It was 104 degrees F last week... Though the strawberries seem to love it outside in the shade! I have never had strawberries do so well in shady areas. Also, does anyone know of a species of strawberry that produces fruit the first year?
