Didn't want to hijack the strawberry thread.
Who else is growing this or has grown this? It's the first time for me. The package said "germinates in 14-21 days depending on soil conditions and water", but mine germinated in 3 days. Does the "days to harvest" on the package include time spent waiting for germination? If so, them germinating this quick cut my wait time by about 35%

Anyone who can offer any advice?

Usually these are easy stuff to grow. If there aren't any pest or root disease. I am sure you have enuf fertiliser input. What's the like, should be warm now and sunny. Usually they start blooming at about 2-3 feet high. Stem should be about half inch diameter by now.
