Purchased different types and colours of strawberries and want to plant them when would you recommend is the best time of the year and how long can I keep the seeds before planting them without them going to waste

Put the seeds in an air tight container in the fridge until you need them. April May June is the planting time for seeds and plants (runners). It says seeds will take until the second year before you will get a crop. With runners you will have a crop in the months following planting. I live near Bundaberg and they plant about April/May and are picking by about July-Sept

Seeds normally last a couple of years, but kept in a cool dark place they should last several years. According to this site, strawberry seeds should be sown in May to June for your climate. Shadecloth will be needed in the warmer months.
