A question about growing onions from seeds
Comments (6)pnbrown What is planting fabric? Landscape fabric? I don't have to worry about weeds in my containers since they're on a high deck. Well, not many, mostly little trees that sprout from those airborne helicopters and whirligigs that I miss when they land. As for spacing them, I think you could go blind with the seeds! Peggy, I've occasionally made seed tapes too, though not for such small seeds! But, to my main question, PNB. You're saying that vendors of onion transplants OR commercial onion growers just plant them close together and then they can be separated and spaced after reaching transplant size? So you seem to be saying that if I plant them at the right time and have some kind of reasonable spacing, I could leave them there to grow in the spring -- is that right?...See MoreQuestions about growing Jack in the Pulpit from seed
Comments (0)I planted a few Jack in the Pulpit seeds this spring, including three in a pot. They've all gone dormant, which I'm guessing is normal since they all did it at the same time. I dug up the bulbs in the pot just to have a look: I understand it will take several years for them to bloom, but for the ones in the pot, I was wondering if I could speed things along by putting them in the fridge for an artificial winter, and maybe getting two growing cycles per year. If so, my two questions are: 1) How long would the artificial winter have to be at refrigerator temperature? 2) Would I have to give them supplemental light this fall/winter to grow them inside, so they perceive the daylength as longer? I'm in zone 6, Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, which is where the seeds were gathered. This message is also posted at the Woodland forum. Alex...See Moregrowing from Lime seeds
Comments (10)One thing you can do is soak the seeds over night, then peel off the hard outer shell before planting. This will speed germination up. My personal method is a to take a single layer of paper towel, lay in on the bottom of a small glass jar and then wet it. Then I lay the seeds down, place a second layer of paper towel down (soaking again if needed) and cover the lid with plastic wrap. Then I place it on top of a heater, and wet the paper towels when they need it. You can try and plant them in straight potting mix but I've never had much luck with that. (1 out of 25 seeds germinating) You'll want to start of in a small container as it helps with overwatering. I have two seedlings growing and both are in 4 inch containers. Both are around 2 months and the tap root just reached the bottom of the pot. If the roots are small (or nonexistant in this case), no point in placing them in an excessively huge container. This is true at any stage of growth. Almost all citrus get pretty big, but don't worry. The size of the pot (and root pruning, which I'd advise you to look up on the container forum) will help restrict the tree's size. A tree in a 2 gallon container won't get very big....See MoreQuestion About Growing Large Flowered Dahlias From Seed
Comments (4)Linlily....you will get both, tubers and lots of flowers this year...a lot depends of your green thumb and mother nature as far as how many but you will get both....you have the right idea, start the seeds and pot them up, then slowly introduce them out doors....start the process in early April so you can have the new plants ready to go into the ground after the last frost, usually around May 1st., the AA or Dinner plates will produce fewer flowers then your smaller types.... teddahlia is right...depending on the conditions around where the seeds were collected, you could get a wide assortment of different size and types of dahlis...kind of like Easter but once your plants are up they will be just as large as the ones from tubers, flower just as nicely and should have nice tubers...See Moreredneckgirlgreenthumb
