    Well done roders

    mine i soaked for a day, chipped away the hard coating and i have nothing, been in soil for about 2 months. Had a little poke about the other day, could not resist. The seed is well stuck in, cannot move it (very gently), so not sure if anything is going to happen.

    Well done, dearest ... does this mean we have sextuplets? :eek: I'm not paying child support, I will tell you now. [​IMG] Look forward to seeing how they develop though and hopefully flower next year. Do we know if they are the peach or rose coloured ones?

    Kev, must say you sound about as successful as me ... poor you. :( I'd say just leave them and hope for the best.

    Hi lol, hope you are well, everything else has grown, just the cannas not showing yet. As you say, just leave be and see what happens, only done half of them so on next batch will do as roders.

    Know how you feel Kev. I got some seed last year, narry a one germinated, even with my miracle propagator. I think I'll try again using Roders method (plus the strategic use of a lump hammer). [​IMG] :D
