Trying to grow strawberries from seed at over 30 degrees...

Customs let me bring in this nifty little strawberry seed kit, so I thought I would have a go at "just adding water."

Yes it does look like a takeaway coffee cup and I think that the heat here made the conditions inside the container a lot like a hot cup of coffee!

After another couple of weeks 8 tiny plants appeared! 

I spent a lot of time on the internet trying to identify

Ok, so if the poor things hadn't enough to deal with heat and humidity! 

I started to wonder why there was an indent in the ground each morning,
