| MrsBinWY | On November 1, 2019 | Seeds germinated No germination the first spring. Let the container dry down over the summer. Brought it in to the sunroom and watered the container~~maybe September/October 2019. Didn't write down the exact date I noticed activity (probably some time in November or December), but there are 6 seedlings as of 12-26-19. The most recent one emerged just a couple days ago (an early Christmas present, I guess). |
| MrsBinWY | On December 22, 2018 | Seeds sown WS 25 seeds from Alplains in milk jug. |
