Default Re: What seeds have germinated for you?

Quote:
you mentioned it takes a long time for them to rot. Will they get soft if they are? I have some ensete left that I planted in the spring and set out. They never dried out and they are still rock hard.
The seeds will stay hard for probably decades. The part that rots is the fleshy "eye" on the seed. It's often hard to see if a seed is rotten, but usually there will be a hole or worms in the "eye" of the seed. If in doubt, take a sniff. If it smells like the breath of your algebra-teacher, you can be sure they are no good!
