Circa Twenty Months later....

musa_monkey · 12-08-2010, 02:42 PM

i got the prop out recently to get some seed going.
I forgot i left some e.ventricosum seed in jiffy pellets
in there. I gave up on it and forgot to throw them out
that was some 20 months ago.

For the fun of it i decided to rehydrate the pellets and leave them in the prop. Two weeks later i found this;

So never give up

Great! I had some I gave up on and they have sprouted months later.

Is that really that odd? I know I'm new to bananas etc. but I do know that most, in fact almost all of any of the other types of seeds that we the novice vegetable etc. planters/growers from the northeast of the USA are familiar with can and do remain viable for at least as many years or longer!

Another one has sprouted, the original one has grown on and is now in the pot at the back of the picture.
