Totally plebeian fare but I transplanted 28 mixed basils and some marigolds today that had sprouted a week or so ago in a common pot; I gave them their own cells. I have beans, cukes, lettuce, arugula and beets up. Silly stuff, yes, but very tasty.

24 different LOTUS! (hope they're dif.)

Yeah, I'm sure I'll have lots of fun overwintering these... Got all my pots ready to go in my pond when they have sprouted enough... I really didn't expect to see SOOOO many of these actually germinate!
Only 3 floaters, 2 of them worked out! More probably sprouting tomorrow!
Got 10 or 11 seeds of each type for less than $15 shipped... More than a 50% germination rate for each! I'll probably only end up planting 2 seeds of each.

Got a Ebay seller to recommend if anyone is interested P.M.

Hi Justin,

your mass processing of seedlings made me think, that you might be able to use an
idea, I had recently, providing you can get juice in this type of container in the US:



<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lungwitz/14221540281" title="DSC05167 by Golestan2, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2926/14221540281_39296f3a21_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="DSC05167"></a>

The volume is one litre and when cut in half, you get two containers of >one pint each.


But here is the real clincher: Twenty of these “pots” fit snugly into your standard garden
centre tray. Efficient, no gaps, and wasted space, as you would have with round pots.
Unfortunately I have so far not been able to collect nearly enough empties to accommodate
all of my 33 quat seedlings:


<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lungwitz/14038233190" title="DSC05165 by Golestan2, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5277/14038233190_5a08abaabe_c.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="DSC05165"></a>

It is not evident from this photo, but the little boxes contain much more soil than the
round pots and I can fit 8 of them, where there are now only 5 pots.


The quat are relatively slow growers and I can keep them in these boxes all summer
long on automatic sprinkler. :)

Best,
Olaf

I have rooted an Acer of mine...losing the mother and none in reserve is not an option,

I have hopes of the baby plants survival...three more waiting to root.

:drum:

Wow, congrats, Orinoko! Very cool.


Rejoining this site briefly to ask you what your method was, to root your acer cutting? How long did it take?


I'm in the process of rooting some Japanese Red Maple cuttings, using a heat mat and fluorescent lights. They're covered, under glass.


Very curious about your methods, Orinoko. Thanks. ;)

since photographing seedlings seems to be a curse that kills, I will only describe. . .

I finally have a papaya seed sprouting!

We'll take this as it goes, but it has lasted a week so far!

Every year I start many square feet(in controlled containers) of different kinds of fern spores that I have either collected or purchased.

This is a photo of three different kinds of ferns in a 32 gal container under CFL OTT lights. Spores "sprout" at different times and circumstances and many of the spore take up to a year to "turn on", therefore I have a few shelves and many containers always in the process.
This container is a" grow out" container until they get some size.

The culling process begins......From millions to about 700.
Next step for these plants is 4 to a quart container/hot box in 60-+ days.

Plants shown are 4-6 inches tall.
I will either plant them in the stumpery or trade them out for daylillys or hostas.
Common names for this container of ferns are..
Giant Ostrich fern(The King) tallest brute reaching for the light.
Sensitive fern.wider heart shaped leaf
Ghost fern. smaller more defined leaf

Bought some chinese chestnuts to roast over Christmas but didn't eat them all so I threw them in a plant pot - 2 sprouted and one of them is already over 3" and growing quickly :)

[luteo]

Dates seem quite simple to get going. Soaked them in water for a while, then started them in a shallow tray of sphagnum moss and organic potting soil with mycorrhizae. No addition of heat either. Looks about time to move on into pots I guess.<a href=><img src=http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=57544 border=0></a>[/IMG]
Next up is a coconut? Dug through a pile of coconuts at the market, and found a nice heavy one with lots of water sloshing around inside. I may just eat it. Or try my hand at growing it, which is probably just another crazy idea

Lots of new weird sprouts coming up:

Pepino aka Melon Pear - Solanum muricatum
Vine Peach Melon - Cucumis melo "chito"
Ivy Gourd - Coccinia grandis
Black Sugar Cane - Saccharum officinarum......from what I've read sugar cane is supposed to be zone 8 so we'll see if I can get it to survive here. And expect for the vine peach, all the others should be able to be kept as houseplants during the winters :)

[merce3]

my son helped my wife select a few seed packets. here's what he got along with some others i've had: yellow onion, sweet pea, pole bean, asian long bean, loofa, roselle (aka sorrell), carnival bell pepper (multicolor), green bell pepper, sunflower, tomatillo, tomatoes (black krim, roma, kewali, anahu, tropic, better bush), basil, and cilantro.

[Kat2]

This probably doesn't count but I've been very lapse about where I dropped pepper seeds whilst carting the insides of red/green ones to the compost bin and now I see results of my carelessness in the most unexpected places--even where I know I did not lapse--no way you can mistake 8 pepper seedlings for an avocado start--except I did at 1st because I knew nothing else was in the pot. The ones I planted are up, onion sets (too late for bulbs so scallions) are up and a I finally saw a potato poking out of the ground.

[orinoko]

Musa Basjoo pups are in the ground doing great.

And if you think mature Basjoos don't survive hard prune they do. I was going to throw out the pups parent because I over did the prune in Spring to the point where the whole plant keeled over in front of me.

:rolleyes: So the plan was to destoy and recycle because I had the pups. Someone said cut it and wait and see, glad I did now because its sending out great rollers again.

Here's a new gardening blog on my amorphophallus titanums from the time they sprouted for an entire year. I don't have photos of their current size since almost all of them have been sold off to gardeners throughout the country, but do have some pictures of plants producing several petioles, getting up over 2ft in height with plum sized corms.

We spent a week in Davenport County Florida back in September. While there we visited a farmer's market and bought some fresh fruit, including mamey sapote - Pouteria sapota (it looked interesting so we decided to try it). We found the fruit enjoyable so I brought one of the seeds home (I know, I'm not supposed to do this) and stuck it in one of my large "nursery pots" .
It only took it about 2 weeks to decide to sprout and is now about 8" tall with 6 leaves......not sure what I'm going to do with it once it gets big :)

[hdynad]

No garden this year, herbs are doing eel in the green house though.

I like to grow the weird stuff or it is weird to me.

Dutchmans pipe
chocolate vine
clock vine
texas star hibiscus,
passion vines
Louisiana hibiscus
rose of sharon
orchid tree
pawpaw tree
weeping cherry

Hi,
I can germinate the papaya till it grows to 1 inch, then it dies. I do it the paper towel method. I then plant into pot.

[nanamama]

Currently growing mangoes (Kent, Ataulfo, and T. Atkins), jalapeños, and avocados (not seen here) from seed! Very exciting to give gardening a shot and having some successes. :)

[bre]

I have a avocado that's started to sprout in less than 1 week, a mango that's just started to open, kumquat, lemon, passiflora, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, carrots, pak choi, baby broccoli. passiflora and tomatoes are outside in pots. rest planted in soil. I will take some pics and post them tomorrow.

[saxybill1]

I don't mind but I don't remember how long it took and I never keep track of when I sow seed. I know I planted two and they both sprouted. I sow every thing the same way. Coco choir and perlite and a pinch of the same to cover.

Hi Tony, I have quite a few desert rose. I had 45 seeds and 43 sprouted in about 3 days. I also grow plumeria and just started the rooting real. I have rooted 8 cuttings and grown 3 from seeds. All are doing well. You should try plumeria as there quite a bit of information about them. The only thing I don'the like about desert rose is that they grow so slow, certainly not like bananas. Good luck to you with the desert rose. Should you have any questions relative to them, I'don't be happy to help.
Take care.
Bill
