Thanks! I got the seeds at Horizon Herbs. You need a male and female plant to make fruit and germination rate is very poor. I was successful in getting a male plant this year and saved the pollen .. when a female flower opened I hand pollinated and was successful! I'm hoping to get better germination results with the seeds by hand pollinating. I bought 10 packs of seeds and was able to get 26 plants up and growing. So far I have identified 3 female plant and 2 male plants. They are more prolific with flowers the 2nd year.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
