I have 5 sprouts (knocks on wood/fingers crossed). I’ve been babying them.
That’s good. I germinated some seeds a few years ago and did not get many to sprout. IIRC, I started with 10 seeds and got three plants up and going, but it was late in the season and did not survive the winter. These 2 mature plants did not take the cold very well, I was surprised to see them leaf out so well after losing all their leaves. Next winter, they are coming into the house, rather than the unheated garage.
