Comments (3)The difficulty is not in the pollinating, but in the collecting. Bees and other insect pollinators are perfectly able to take care of pollen transfer, aren't you glad? It's a simple matter of picking up ripe pollen from the anthers and transferring it to the stigmatic surface of another flower.

Comments (6)I don't know about those, but yesterday I soaked Cosmos, marigolds, nastursium, olive, mango, habanero, Greek Pepperonchini, daisy, dahlia, and pineapple guava seeds. This morning, I planted most in seed starters, and some in the ground. I figure, whichever works, you know? Good luck with your seeds. Summer Savory is one of my favorite herbs. Sometimes you can just spill a handful of herb seeds on the ground, keep it damp, and they sprout like crazy. Parsley and Cilantro are nice little sprouters! Suzi...See MoreNHBabs z4b-5a NH
