    I sure thought about it....but I'm in Iowa, so I'm thinking now is not a good time to try seeds. Sure is a nice offer tho...tyvm!

    For those of us that live in the "winter" states and countries, you can use a heat mat or waterproof heating pad to germinate and grow the seedlings. I live in zone 6b/7a and have around 80 seedlings growing on waterproof heating pads that have a constant on mode. The seedlings are doing great. As long as you can provide the bottom heat and the light during the winter you should be able to grow them from seed. I like growing from seed, 1, for the challenge, and 2, because you never know what you will get. You just might end up with the latest and greatest plumie in the world.

    I'm getting my envelope in the mail tomorrow. Thank you so much!

  • 19 years ago

    Well Andi, you convinced me to give it a try!
    TY oorah, I will be sending my sase to you shortly!

  • 19 years ago

    I would love to try growing some of your seeds. I am sending out a SASE today! Thanks for your generosity.

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks Oorah! Got my seeds in the mail yesterday! Can't wait to try them!

  • 19 years ago

    Your offer is very generous and I certainly thought about it. However, my only attempt with seeds several years ago was a complete failure. I will be setting up my first greenhouse soon and want to get a little experience under my belt before I start winter rooting cuttings and sowing seeds that have to be held over for a long time before going outdoors.

    What a nice offer! I've got to try it. I guess I missed your first post, had to go back and look for it. Sending my SASE out in the morning. Thanks!

    I started a bunch of seeds that came with a cutting that I purchased and was surprised by how easy they germinated. I used one of those berries containers from the grocery store and fill it with dirt then stick the seeds in halfway and cover the top. They germinated in a few days.

    Be careful Nixonk, seeds can be very addicting too.

    Kasie:

    I agree -- they are addicting. It is such a joyous feeling when your seeds germinate or when your cuttings root. However, I always keep in mind that the seedling from seeds may not be true to the parents and that always stops me in my tracks. I don't like surprises. So, I am sticking with cuttings.

    nixonk, Nice to see someone so close to home who is also a Plumie lover!

  • 19 years ago

    I received your seeds today! That was really fast; I sent my envelope one week ago from halfway across the country. The seeds are now in soil in a pot on my deck and I am waiting for germination. Thank you, thank you.

  • 19 years ago

    Also got your seeds today. Thank you so very, very much!!

    How is everyone's seeds doing? Shortly after I planted mine in Miracle Grow potting mix, it rained for about 3 or 4 days, off and on, but no sun. However, it was quite hot, easily sweating in a sleeveless shirt and shorts while working in the yard. I brought the seeds under cover after the first soaking rain and didn't worry about the lack of sun b/c it was so warm. However, I am still waiting for them to germanate, and am hoping I didn't lose them to the several days of lack of sun. I would have brought them in on heating pad if it was colder. Can't remember the temp they need to grow, but if it is too cool, they won't grow. I don't think it was ever that cool here yet. How are the rest of the seeds doing? Hope I didn't mess up by planting them all right before all that rain and not bringing them in the house. Should have reserved some of them, I guess, in case they didn't work, but I wanted them all to get started before the cool Fall weather set in.

    Hi Stemn,

    SASE is an acronym that means Self Addressed Stamped Envelope.
