Could these be Podocarpus seeds?

Comments (12)I would have to say Stokes Seeds, they are incredibly reasonable, if you order a larger packet size. However, I have never ever had problems with Park Seed at all whatsoever. I am sorry you are having problems with them! Is anyone else? I called them the other day to see if they were going to have another BOGO sale like they had last year. I didnt really expect them (or any company for that matter!) to tell me, but took a chance anyway. They are apparently not going to have the same sale as they did last year. Huge bummer for me, as I saved like $500 last year in seed expense. Debbie, I get almost perfect germination from Park Seed. What seed did you order? Was it available in pellets? I dont know that knowing for sure the packing year will make too big a difference, I have seed from many years ago, and they still germinate just fine. This is so controversial, some people have problems, some dont have any at all with aged seed. Many people believe this is kinda a gimmick to get people to buy fresh seed every year, and some people swear by using fresh seed. Everyone grows their seeds differently, have differences in their technique. Are you eliminating that as a problem? That maybe you should try something different? I'm not trying to cut you down at all, my passion is to help other people learn to grow from seed. Though, you may not be new at it at all. I just havent seen people complain about Park Seed before. It will be interesting to see if others have problems. Many seeds are very tiny and dustlike, there isnt much that can be done about it. Begonia seed is the most dustlike I have ever seen, and it germinated for me by the thousands! Petunia seed is also very tiny, but germinates so easily. Maybe you could briefly explain your germination technique and see if people here can offer successful tips, maybe something you havent tried before. I would like to help, if you want....See MoreCould Yoy Do It With Hosta Seeds?
Comments (8)I had a thread about this back in January I think. I am currently trying it with some Hosta seeds, but I have them in my garage. I wanted them to sprout earlier than if they were outside. I got anxious after reading all the other posts about everyone else's sprouting seeds, lol. I like the idea about the clear deli trays, Alexa. It would be easier to see if anything is sprouting that way too. I planted mine on Feb. 15. So far there is only one very tiny thread-like sprout in one of the jugs. Maybe it still isn't quite warm enough in the garage. Below is the link to where I learned about winter sowing.

Comments (4)LOL, I laugh cause I plan to do this when my neighbors seeds are ready. She has blue wild indigo and I so love that plant in or out of bloom. Also she has so many different daylillies if I figured they would be true I would hit her for those also. I started my process last week on the edge of asking. I got a wonderful set of seeds in a sase and I took her some of the seeds of this flower she was tickled pink. I was just tickled I had something she didnt have already, her gardens are wonderful she is my inspiration. I will catch her outside one day and I will say Mrs. Peggy (thats her first name) I absolutely loveeeee your blue wild indigo,(knowing her she probaly dont even know the name of it) would there be a chance that I could take some of the seeds so I may take a shot in growing my own. Knowing this little angel she will say well sure hun, but if you come back in spring I will just get you a clump. I love this woman I swear!! I will still get a few seeds and I always tell her I am coming back in spring but I never do. Its a shame all neighbors arent as great as Mrs. Peggy!! P.S The malva zebrina, Poppy Papaver laciniata, and the Pink hollyhock I have were started from seed from Mrs. Peggy's garden I think 2 or 3 years back....See MoreSeniorBalloon
