I had a couple of requests for baby picks so here they are a few days late.

Hello all. Last week I started chive, swiss chard, oregano, thyme, cilantro, and pea vine seeds in the bathroom. All came up except the chive seeds. Just put the pea vines in the ground yesterday next to the chain link fence on the south side of house yesterday. All the herbs will stay in flower pots on the patio. I live in south Louisiana so I'm fortunate for the subtropical climate. I plan to start a mix pack of kale, mustards, and bac choi seeds in starter trays today since it's supposed to rain all day today.

I’ve had a couple tries with starting chive seeds that didn’t take. Could just be me, but I’m wondering if they can be difficult.

I've had trouble too. I've recently seen video saying onion, chive seeds are not as viable the longer you keep them or if you don't leave them on the plant to mature long enough. I think some of my saved seeds may have be too old. I'm now starting to plant these types of seeds sooner or fresher than I have in the past.

I’m waiting on my Burpee order to arrive. But, I received my Sandhill order. I had sent it in last year, but didn’t make a copy of my order so I forgot exactly what I ordered. They take a seed filling break during Dec, so I was waiting for awhile, but knowing it was coming soon due to their updates. Now I remember that I ordered cotton seeds! 3 colors: white, green, and tan. I’ll use them as decoration, planting them as flowers (tall ones). We’ve never grown cotton, so it will be a learning experience.

Cotton is a gorgeous plant and fun to watch unfurl. We grew it here for a while, and of course in Alabama :D

I put my seeds in question in a glass petri dish on a piece of hand towel or tissue. This way I can see if the seeds are viable. I sprouted my onion seeds like this before I planted them and they grew. Prior to this, I couldn't sprout them in potting mix.

I had an associate tell me about her husband not being able to grow onions and I told her about this method and it also worked for her.

I just planted chestnut and apple seeds. The chestnut is a possibly blight tolerant American chestnut I got from a friend of mine, and came from their ancestral homestead. It's descendants also show signs of blight tolerance.

The apples came from grocery store apples so it will be interesting to see what they grow in to.

The rest of my tree seeds are still stratifying in the refrigerator.
