Drummer Re: OK>>>> Seeds are ready on the velutina!!!

OK. iam trying the seeds again. The 1st ones planted,the peat pellets dried up when i wasnt looking! I started soaking 5 seeds in water on Dec16th. Gonna let them soak 5days. Then.....will put 2 seeds in peat pots in a baggie.The other 2 will go in a small pot inside another ziplock baggie. The medium i mixed is part miracle grow,playsand,vermiculite,peat,and a lil' milorganite. I mixed all that up real good. The last seed will go into a baggie with just the soil mixture. These will be in my bathroom{cuz its hot as blue blazes in there}All day they'll be in there, and before going to bed, i'll take them out ,and put them near a cool window till the morning. Hope this does it, because i want to post pictures and be proud of my triumph too!
I have 5 seeds in dirt in my unheated greenhouse to overwinter. I'll start watering them in apr or may, when the weather starts heating up. As another experiment....I'll put 3 seeds in the fridge tonight. I dont' know how long they should be in there. Guess I'll be reading all day today and tomorrow trying to find the answer,.......Unless somebody out there knows. Good luck to me. Magicgreen
Oh yea.......I didnt get rid of the seeds in those dried up pellets, they still may grow from what i read.
