Thats a wild shot Colin thanks for posting it. I have never seen anything like that on a seed.
Becky, I have the same HoneySuckle a just planted this year and it grew 4 feet high in one summer!! I think i have just plain old annoying aphids~?thankfullly? ~lol !but now I want to look at all my MG seeds!!! kidding, of course~ I have a Pink MG rambling into the Honeysuckle in this picture... it is out of focus sadly.
My dad used to have a great trick for starting rooting of seeds; take and old piece of fabric like heavy but bit a tight weave and get it soaking wet, & fold over the seeds. leave it somewhere warm NOT hot, for 1-4 days and into the next or ? days depending on seed type, then unfold and blammo! ready to transplant in to pots or garden rows. This works great on top of gas ovens/stovetope unless as most these days they are an electrical starting source. Any consistant warm place works.
I am sure many have done this but reading exchange between Dany12 & Colin made me remember and I thought to post it in case anyone can use it...nevr enough Gardening info!
