Propagating from seeds is more difficult than the many other ways of doing it. One does not see
what is happening once the seed is planted. Knowing where to look for seeds allows a greater
chance to increase one's collection while developing patience, skills. Great article.
Actually, I often have a higher rate of success growing from seed than propagating from cuttings... but I know what you mean about wondering what is going on with the seed once it has been planted! That's why I sometimes use the method of putting the seed in a bit of damp paper towel inside a plastic baggie, so I can monitor germination. :-)
I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for reading & responding!
Now that I think of it, that should be the way, instead of guessing.
Since we are in the subject... In the tropics the force of the rain drops is impressive. I made the mistake of starting a bed with 24 species of mixed seed for Southern states, during November a rainy month.
The
rain dispersed a great percentage, some plants bended with the force, the rest may survive. Thanks for responding. Until next.
LOL... I can imagine what a torrential tropical rain would do to a seedbed! I had a container of seed pots last spring that I moved up onto the deck... and managed to put them right under a little waterspout coming from the roof... they got jumbled and flooded, and I never did get a single sprout!
I guess our winter is your planting/growing season... or do you garden year round there?
