Season begins

I have been trying to grow Acer seeds for a while, with no luck. I pluck them from a nearby park fresh then stick them in some loamy soil in a border. Do take some photos as I am interested and keep us posted.

Hi kildermorie This is my second attempt at Acer germination. Failed miserably first time three yrs ago. Apparently they require extreme cold to prompt them into germination. Heat brings them into growth. Seeds were very hard so i soaked them prior to humid conditions to assist seed coating. The latter was not on the seed packet i got the tip from a very old seed book. Will show photo,s asap as seed,s are just penetrating the soil surface. Take care watch this space. Tony

Well done Tony, I better let Elizabeth know.

Wahhh! Mine haven't germinated yet! You lucky ducky! Two! Och, that's brilliant, Tony, that's really well done! I'm so proud of you, Capt'n!! Thanks for letting me know Rose! ... I think! Lol!

Interesting -I'll have to have a go sounds like a challenge.

Am keeping my fingers crossed for you - all that patience deserves a good reward.

Thankyou Rose Elizabeth is next comment . Full crew on to night(LoL). Take care Tony

Yip a dee doo dah its two up 8 to go Elizabeth. Guess the little people are looking down on me. The hard bit of getting them to survive begins now though. Take care number one and may the power be with you (LoL). Take care enjoy Tony.
