ok so like a few months ago i got some date palm seeds(thanks cookie) and i planted them in a pot and covered them with plastic wrap. well after seeing no growth, and the weather getting nice outside i put the pot outside and took the plastic off it. day after day and still nothing. i went out today to cut some nana leaves that had been damaged by the wind, just happened to wack a dc leaf and low and behold the date palm seeds have sprouted. i think i have 8 out of 10. i was doing a happy dance. wahoo! so maybe (keeping my fingers crossed) ill have date palms for in the house this winter. im so excited! thanks again cookie for the seeds. oh and btw, my castor beans( thanks magicgreen) have finally sprouted. i have 2 coming up. they will be moved outside tomorrow. so the moral of the story....when you are ready to give up on the seeds you planted....give them one more day and look again.
