Hopefully someone can help me with my latest issue!
I've been germinating seeds, and some have really taken their time. I had about 20 seeds from one pod that I crossed last year, and that I started germinating a couple of months ago. Some of the seeds sprouted in less than a week, and several more just sprouted in the last few days. I was really surprised that it took so long for some of them!
I plated the first seeds in pots, and have since transplanted them into the garden, where they are growing really well. The seeds that just sprouted got put into pots, but winter will be here before I know it, and I'm sure that they won't be big enough to transplant before it freezes.
It's a cross that I'm excited about, and I'm wondering if it would be okay to bring them inside and continue growing them under lights? Or, maybe I should just put them in the cold frame, which I hope to heat a little with barrels of water. I'm not sure that I'll be able to keep the cold frame above freezing, and I have no idea if they will survive if they are small, and it freezes. I've got at least 20 more seeds that haven't germinated yet, from other crosses, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to grown them inside for the winter.
Any suggestions on what I can or should do? I really don't want to lose them!
