| MrsBinWY | On March 25, 2018 | Seeds germinated I should have check these sooner. 10 each of the "molded" and "not molded" seeds had germinated. The cotyledon on a couple of the "not molded" ones was 1" or longer. (I hope it's the cotyledon, anyway. Otherwise I've planted them upside down.) I spread the rest of the seeds and potting mix on top of more potting mix in a milk jug and put everything back in the fridge. |
| MrsBinWY | On December 2, 2017 | Seeds sown Germination test: 25 each of seeds from better seed heads and molded seed heads. 4-6 weeks of warm, moist stratifications (top of fridge), followed by cold. Fridged 1-21-18. |
