Strawberry seeds started

I got started yesterday on planting seeds under the gro-light for this year's garden. The first ones to go in are strawberries. I'll also be ordering some strawberry plants but I wanted to try growing them from seed also. The variety are alpine, a bit smaller but with shorter runners than regular strawberries, which is good in my raised bed. It's still a bit early to start these indoors but I'm planning on covering their bed with red plastic to warm the soil and using a floating row cover to give them some extra growing time, hoping to get a crop the first year after all.

I'm also planning on starting some tomato seeds today.
