Tropicals & Tender Perennials: When is a pod too Green, 1 by Kell

Last year I got immature seeds that were only 2 months old and white to germinate. But you need to pot them up right away. Did the seeds start to change color? If the seeds were brown at all, I bet you can get some germination.

To be ripe the pods do not have to be all mushy, just the start is good enough. As soon as mine split I try to pick them.

Sunday Tom trimmed one of my brugs because he couldn't get by it anymore and cut off all my pods. They were hard and green and 3/4s the size should have been. They were almost 2 months old. I had some special ones on it so I quick potted up about 100 seeds in rockwool. The seeds were pretty white but large. I bet I get some germination.

Here are some of the seeds I did not use but only because I had no way too many. They are turning brown now because they have been exposed for over a day now to air.

GOOD LUCK, Janice.
