Wow, the Asclepias Tuberosa is sprouting! Only 2 so far, but still, that was quick! The others, not yet.

In 2011 Lupines germinated in Deno in the frig after 40-50 days. I did soak them first that year. According to notes I took from an unknown person's post, after soaking the seeds and freezing the baggie they got sprouts in just a few days. I think I'll try the ice cube trick if they don't show themselves soon. I can just put the cubes on top of the baggie on a dish...

I looked at my records from last year. I had 4 types of Platys, and almost all started sprouting on the 5th day- 1 day soak, 4 days Deno. This year's first try looks squishy, I'm sure they're no good, so I tossed them. Now I'm soaking a new batch. This time I'll leave it at 24 hours, not 48, and start using peroxide and SuperThrive when I dampen the Deno baggie. I'm afraid, though, that the seeds didn't have time to mature. But I'll keep trying, just in case.
