With soil, it's difficult to keep it consistently moist sometimes, and this is why they can take longer...or sometimes not come up at all!

The aero-garden provides a constantly moist and super warm atmosphere and the seed shell can't help but break down after being in there only a short time. It's wonderful and totally reliable.

I should do a test and put some seeds in soil and some in the aero-garden and see what the time difference is in germination. Would be interesting.

I'm trying to just focus on what I have growing now in the system and I've thinned a lot of extras and removed many things. Now there is one plant per pod and only the things that are staying permanantly to grow and mature.

Now that I've had such great success with the beautyberry seeds, it's inspired me to sow some more difficult ones and see what happens. I would like to sow some chilled holly seeds that have been in the fridge close to a year.

I seem to sow a ton of pepper seeds but now it's time for something way more challenging I think...I gotta think about it though and go through my collection. I think I have some cool tree seeds...like maybe even magnolia!
