You could also look into Park Seed, where they sell like 25 plant for $10.
They ship at diffrent times depending on your zone.. but worth a try.
This is where I got mine from and they ship in about another week.

i still have no idea. but if you can see it it looks like there is a green film like mold on top of the soil.

to my question....

germination times-all i could find was that it would take like at minimum 2 weeks. (it has now been about a month) and i have one sprout (out of like 14 seeds). should it take this long or what.

i have included a pic because i am hoping someone has grown them and can tell me even if this is a strawberry or something that fell in the pot.

oh yeah it said not to overwater i didn't notice no holes in the bottom it stormed and flooded once i put holes in right after. should i just buy a new one or is this sprout a strawberry for $2 i can accept one plant.

i just bought a hangin strawberry basket im gonna start growing it some time soon or should i say my girlfriend is gonna grpw it hope it works i will let u no if so

Those hanging bags work real well. Just make sure your bag has the holes in the bottom for drainage. I bought a couple when parks had their special on them and they did real well, but the damn birds always beat me to it so I transplaanted them to a planter to get them away from the trees and then the mice beat me to it, so I built a chicken wire cage around it.. finally got a few before I had to move to NJ and leave them behind

I plan on picking up a few, the only reason I have waited this long is we have had a couple of late freezes.

what do you guys think about the moldy look on top of the soil?

I wouldnt worry about it. Its natural when the light hits the wet growing medium. I like to use a top inch or so of coco coir so when I water, it dries first/faster reducing fuzzy growth and also helps keep the soil under moist, but you should wait until your plants sprout I would think you wouldnt want them strecthing out to get through the coco IMHO
