A few days ago LJ was in the garden picking strawberries with Grandad.  To my dad's surprise LJ didn't eat the strawberry he picked, rather he dug a little hole and planted it.  He wanted to grow some more strawberries, he said and the seeds were on the fruit, so if he buried them and they'd grow.

It was a great piece of logic, but strawberries do not grow well from seed unless the berry is very ripe and.... (I don't know, I'm not really a gardner!)

It was a wonderful opportunity to teach and learn about propagation.  Here are some photos or the process. 

Finding a suitable runner.  --Planted!  The strawberry was dug up, washed and eaten by PJ.  He wasn't going to waste a yummy strawberry for any future hope!
