Grow Strawberries

I grow strawberries at home in a flower pot. I poured some water into the mud in a paper cup. Then I put the mud in the flower pot. I put seeds inside and covered them with some more mud. Finally I put the flower pot in a plastic bag to keep it wet, but my sister said that it needs a lot of days until you can see strawberries.
