Thanx Ron, you are the best! Glad we could provide an excuse to get out of the closet even if only for a bit till you lock yourself back in!!! I'm going to start a pkg of cacti seeds in the coming days... So I'll look in here to see what's the best method! |

I'm experimenting with some new seeds this year. I started burgundy hibiscus, white cone flower, pansies, begonias, purple bell vine and hollyhock. I started some in 2 inch containers with seed starting mix, some in jiffy peat pellets and some in an APS seed starting tray. I also use a heat mat. |

love the impatiens and the hibiscus, Ron. Now if I could just get my head into seed sowing. Still not there yet. Too much else to deal with here. |

Gee, wonder if I could grow hibiscus flowers in the greenhouse. I am guessing not but it could be cool to try. Ron, do they only survive one season? And can I grow one plant or do I need two for pollination? I used to grow them in Arkansas but have not seen a sign of one since we moved to Alaska. It would mean surrendering my pepper plants for the year. |

I'm soaking seeds right now to start a Banana Plant. It's a house plant. The seeds are huge and can take from 1 - 6 months to germinate. Wish me luck. |

Wish me luck.Good luck sashweezy! Let us know when they germinate.The yellow hibiscus is an annual. I save seeds and plant them every year. They are one of my favorites. The burgundy hibiscus is a perennial. I'm trying it for the first time. I got the seeds in a trade from a gardening buddy. |
