Hi
I made it myself. Now I can sow much more seeds in one time.
I can use 26 seedboxes in it and can adjust the temperature.
Next days I will make two more new beds.
Greetings Ludger

Ludger . . what a great idea. How many seeds will you be able to sow in these 26 boxes?
Looks like you're going to have all kinds of good stuff popping up this winter :) Great idea.
Look at those big fat pods! Looks great Ludger. What are you gonna do with all those brugs?!! I hope you get some neat hybrids from them :)
In one box I can sow 70-90 seeds.
I am crazy for new variegated Brugs and I did much Mayapollinations...as more I sow as more it is probable to grow a new variegated Brug.
Also I like to seed out all seeds from one pod, just curious to see to bloom all. May be there is a color or double comeback in percentage terms....I know I´m mad....

I would do the same thing if I had the room. We could do worse things that grow brug seeds. Can't wait to see if you get a variegate or maybe a beautiful double. Good luck.
Thank you all for good wishes!!!
Brugie, the best would be a good double variegated....
Is future I know but I did some crossings and the new Bruggies I will cross back to doubles and variegated I already have ( thank´s Monika !!!!!!!!)

Ludger, i like your seeds. you are probably smart to grow them all out. i have some pods i will do this with, but probably only 10-20 seeds at a time, if i like them i will start more. i don't understand your boxes. are the seeds in bowls soaking?
Arlene I use the boxes ( bowls ) because I can move them.
No germinatio: Kompost. Quick germination:More light. And the sowbed will stay clean. Always I can "mix" and change 26 sowboxes in this bed.
And never I will get in trouble because in each box only are seeds from one pod.

Very professional looking!
Well done.
What a great idea Ludger. Better start tilling up a large garden spot to grow all those seedlings in next year. :)
Is no one else going to ask what the beer bottle is for???
it's for me, be right there Ludger!!
Ludger, I'm sorry, I'm confused. You say no soil? can you tell me how you're growing them? are you sprouting them in the bowls and then potting up? I could use any space saving ideas.
OK Ludger, what is the beer for? I'm curious too, why don't you use soil/compost?
I know what the beer is for.Brost!!!!!!!!!!
I know what the beer is for.Broast!!!!!!!!!!
Ludger, Those look like great big seeds in that bowl. Mine aren't that size.
LOL Ludger.......I do not have clue what you were saying:

The endless possiblities are exciting Ludger, aren't they?
Doubles, variegation, flower Colour and Culebra type leaves can all be inherited. The only problem being that these characteristics mainly come from the mother plant and so it would probably take a lot of hard work and many years to produce a variegated culebra-leaved double pink or orange Brug. LOLOL

Sorry, I didnt´explain very well.....new start:
I use the boxes filled with soil and seeds. In each box I only sow seeds from one pod.
Now I will have to wait for germination.
Some crossings ( or because the seeds are very fresh )will germinate very fast. This box with germinated seedlings I can move to a place with more light for better growing.
Is there a box without seedlings after some weeks ( dead seeds..) I will move this box to the Kompost.
More pictures will follow soon.
The Beer was for me.....I have drunk after finishing the sowbed.

thanks for explaining, wish i had room for these, I have no idea where I'm going to put seed trays!!
You are welcome,smile.
Brugfriends I know, sometimes use the heating ( radiator ) for putting seed trays on.
GL
tiG...any room on top of the fridge? Or your water heater?
a bit on the fridge, but I might just move some cuttings up there and keep the seeds lower so I can keep an eye on them.
Ludger, do you maya pods all have known dads??? do you think maya seeds are worth growing if they have unknown dads???? i have lots of unknown dads, trying to decide!!!!
Arlene
most fathers I know. I want to grow new variegated brugs.
It´s just a try. I pollinated with much different fathers to find out how the seedlings will look. ( variegated or not)
GL
Should i grow my maya seeds that do not have known fathers?
I would do cause I like Maya.
As I know there are not much Mayacrossings in world.It is said that seedlings from variegated Brugs not survive. They do´nt have Clorophyll.
I will try to "find" seedlings which will survive.
GL
thanks, Ludger. Maya is one of my favorites also.
I can't wait to see your creations to be Ludger! I love the variegated brugs also! i wish you every success!
Guess I will need all your good wishes for finding a new variegated Brug,thanks,smile.
One reason because I try to grow so much Brugs. As more I have as earlier I will find a variegated sport, perhaps.....
GL
Bump!
So it's true - Beer is the secret ingredient - a little known fact- but obviously proven on both continents. LOL
