I have been growing plants from seeds for at least 20 years. I have grown literally hundreds of different kinds of vegetables, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, tropicals, some cacti, water plants, iris, rose, lilies, cannas, etc. I enjoy starting from seed.
I've been growing my own seeds for 20 years with indoor propagation equipment I built myself. I am also an Allexperts volunteer on the perennial forum. I have completed the Master Gardener course through the Kansas State University Extension. I have experience with a wide variety of seeds and I have also read through Norm Deno's books on seed germination.
I get a big kick out of watching something come to life. Emerge seedlings give me a big thrill to see Nature at work.
I hope I never stop learning and that there will always be a new adventure for me around the corner.
Growing from seed is only as diffiult as your understanding or lack of understanding at how a seed works.
GMO seeds. I'm totally anti-GMO.

Hi Cyril, Thanx for your question. I'm not sure why the cell flats and planters are colored black. I know some are colored green sometimes (mostly outside the US). I use cell flats but I also use just
Hi Lucinda, Thanx for your question. If you're using fruit still attached to the tree, it probably isn't ripe and will end up rotting. The size of the fruit is probably okay. Uncultivated plants tend
Hi Sophie, Thanx for your question. It sounds to me like the plant was at one time waterlogged or not draining well and a fungus has invaded the plant. It may be beyond salvation now. If the stem base
Hi Ron, Thanx for your question. The pods must be ripe and brown and will have fallen off the trees. Green pods will not contain mature seeds and therefore not be viable. The seeds of the liquidamber
