Sprouting strawberry seeds

I have already started sprouting strawberries. If they sprout now, they will get big enough by April - May to be planted outdoors. Since I don't have a lot of space, I am first sprouting the seeds on paper tissue on top of my aquarium lights. Any warm location in your house will work, like a sunny windowsill or on top of the refrigerator or another appliance. For me the top of the aquarium works very good since it warms up from the lights for approximately 12 hours per day.

   

 Once the seeds start sprouting, I pick them off the tissue and place them in moist seedling soil.



I cover them with a clear lid so they get light and high humidity and place them in front of a sunny window.
Do not forget to label the seedlings. I have here 4 different kinds and without labels I would definitely forget which one is which, especially if they get too big for the current pots.
