I've been thinking about this project for a while and although I said I would sow them in different ways, I think it's better to sow them all in the same way, to see what the difference is between the 3 shrubs.
I started to pour over just boiled water over the seeds.
- The Michael Lindsay seeds are not doing well. All, but one stayed floating. Hopefully that will change after a 24 hour soak
- The 2# I got 11 seeds, 2 are floating, 9 sinked
- The 3# I got 4 and all sinked
Floating seeds mean: not viable seeds. But it might happen some will sink after 48 hours
Sinking seeds mean: they are potantial viable.
After 48 hours (or maybe a bit longer, if I'm busy) I will open the seeds with a knife or a nailclipper.
Will soak them in fresh water for another 24 hours again and will sow all the sinked ones in vermiculite.
