| MrsBinWY | On January 8, 2022 | Plant emerged On 1-8-2022, noticed tiny bit of new growth emerging! Plant grew a few leaves and then senesced in March 2022. Let the soil dry down and put it back in the fridge. Plan to bring it out in May. Haven't decided yet whether to plant it out then or keep it in the pot. |
| MrsBinWY | On February 3, 2021 | Seeds germinated 1st radical emerging 2-3-2021; 2nd radical emerging 2-5-2021; 3rd radical emerging 2-7-2021 -- potted each up as the radicals emerged -- The cotyledons of the 1st one were showing on 2-8-2021. The hypocotyl hook of the 2nd one one was showing on 2-9-2021. I had these on the heat mat in the basement, which may have been too warm. On 8-29-2021, put one pot into fridge to see if 30 days or so of cool/cold will stimulate winter and bring the plant out of dormancy. Unfridged 11-29-2021 and put on south-facing windowsill by sowing table. |
