After your cucuzza success, I couldn’t stand the suspense - emptied out my two cups and looked to see if the seeds had any sign of germination. Nada. So, I now have two new seeds soaking (will soak for much longer than 12 hours) and then they’ll go in that warm window sill right away. Maybe I’ll get lucky with the second try although I’m not sure where I’ll put them if they do germinate since they are such climbers & I already have the two Trombettas. It would be a “nice” problem to have!
Plenty of rain our way .... April showers bring May flowers ... and as of yesterday, clouds of gnats ... UGH!
I did that, too with the first batch I planted..of which two of six are up.. Those seed cases are hard as a rock. It took the first one forever for the leaves to work the brown seed case off. I thought it was a clump of hardened dirt. On the second one, I pried it off..probably not good to do, but it's still alive, and the leaves are greening up. I know they say not to keep the soil wet, but I have it on the soggy side of moist right now.
