Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
Quote:
this is just food baby pot with a band of sand paper to scratch the seed (no water), then shake for scarification after that in another little pot with water for 24 hours Then i put the seeds in moist peat. After a week, I decided to pick one for the experiment. The tool . Looking closer, it's a rough peeling! When i did it, there was no pointing root, i did not peel the "end" of the seed Uploaded with ImageShack.us Maybe it will be interesting to do the experiment with one directly peeled seed (no soaking, scarification, peat) just in moist cotton. (and a little heat, of course) All my (unpeeled) seeds are already in moist peat. I will see which is going to fully root/have leaf first! once again i have to say that the smell in the pot is...particular. (but the pot is closed ) -0- Update Uploaded with ImageShack.us ...Fails. The heat mat has been shut down a few hours.... or the experiment was too extreme!

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
Ofcourse, in relation to example Jubaea or some Sabal Cerifera grows pretty fast.
But, Washingtonias are faster than him

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
After the fail with strelizia reginae, another attempt !
My seeds in bag for 15 days have no signs of germination so i decided to try something again, this time no more cotton: ==> charcoal and pozzolan 2 Seeds prepared, others not: One with coat removed (no deep cut, just coat removed) One with coat cutted, not deep at the "end" . (For this one needs to be extra carefull) After ONE night: Coat removed : no signs Coat cutted : Already a sign So no need to remove all the coat, i hope this time it will be better!

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
I wonder if you are over thinking it. Years ago before we knew anything at all about growing plants, my wife germinated some Strelitzia nicolai seed she picked up off the sidewalk under one of these plants. She just put them in a small pot, probably with soil from the yard, and they germinated and have done fine. We kept them in pots for several years, and then when we bought a house, we planted them in the yard. Now they are about 2 m tall. Maybe this simplistic, unsophisiticated approach worked because the seeds were fresh. I don't know.

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
Looks good to eat !
"The fruit is a small, flat, oblong shape, 6 - 12 ounces, greenish yellow to deep golden when ripe; delicious, very sweet, rich in flavor and close to fiber free. (butter!)"

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
Here's my best tree peony seedling that germinated this spring. These are about 3 inches tall since they have been pampered, but this one is putting on a 3rd leaf which is pretty amazing for a 1st year seedling. I'm hoping for it to really get established well.

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
They are surprisingly easy to grow. The biggest mistake that gardeners make is that they don't plant a grafted tree peony deep enough, and since it keeps relying on the herbaceous root, it will eventually run out of energy causing the plant to die in about 2-3 years. Growing seeds are pretty easy as all I need to do is plant the seeds into the garden beds 2-3 inches deep.
I have a lot more peonies than what's shown in that picture as I'm growing my collection. Here's my latest blog on them. Steve's garden: Update on all the peonies, itoh, tree and herbaceous species

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
Prickly pear cactus (opuntia)! I was watering my garden, and tucked under a tomato bush I spied a tiny cactus. Cacti are not native to NC, but I eat prickly pears bought from the local flea market. A seed must have sprouted. Yea!

Re: What'cha got sprouting? (other plants)
While I was outside in the triple digit heat tending to my bananas and other plants, my couch sprouted some couch potatoes. How curious.
