Way to go Kell. A couple more days in the East and you might have had seeds planted right there on the ground. LOL!!

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

My BF X RK pods also are over done! The are much smaller. This one I just reached up to feel if soft and it immediately disintegrated. It was weird.

So sorry, before, it was close to 8 PM and my DH was waiting to go out to dinner so I didn't even read any of the posts, just posted my new pics and ran.

My mother is doing OK. I will be going back soon. All I can say is enjoy today for tomorrow you may be too old! Thanks for asking.

It looks like you got home just in time. A few more days and the mouse might have made off with them!

Homestead, FL(Zone 10b)

Yay Kell! I'm sure that you were like an expectant Mom waiting for your pods to ripen. I look forward to seeing photographs of your new creations.

San Jose, CA(Zone 9a)

Sounds like these are VERY SPECIAL seeds! Yes, be sure to photo and post your babies! Will you be using the rockwool to start the seeds? & will you start them now? indoors or out? Best wishes!!

San Antonio, TX(Zone 9a)

Wow, what a homecoming, Kell. Glad your mom is doing better.

Tulsa, OK(Zone 6b)

Congratulations, Kell!! Imagine having so many pods (and such an established L'Amour) that you FORGET that it has a bunch of pods! I don't have L'Amour, I don't have Rothkirch (can you see me crying here?). If you don't have a line stretching halfway across the country, I'd love to grow out some of your seeds. The seeds that I've started in the last few weeks are sprouting so fast! I learned last year that I can't start them in the middle of the summer, but now seems to be perfect!
I'm glad that your mom is doing well, it's scary when they aren't feeling well. My mom broke her arm a couple of months ago, and they finally had to do surgery on it a few weeks ago to put in some pins. She's doing so much better now. Every time that she goes to the doctor, he makes the bandage a little bit smaller, and she can actually use that hand a little bit now.

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

WTG Kell ... you did good. They new you were coming home, and was ready and waiting. Love seeing the photos of all the different pods.

Angleton, TX(Zone 9a)

What a sight....Kell!! I know that you were thrilled to see these.

Marshfield, MO(Zone 6a)

Glad these finally ripened for you, put my name on the long list of people willing to grow out some of these seeds for you :-)

Kannapolis, NC(Zone 7b)

LOL Kell, you've got enough volunteers offering to grow your seeds.

New Iberia, LA(Zone 9a)

Glad that your mom is doing okay..

They look great..

Columbia, SC(Zone 8a)

Good job Kell, I know there are some beauties in there. If you need help growing out, let me know :) Hope your mom gets along good. You're a good daughter, and you're right about enjoying today.

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

Wow Kell, your pods ripened all at once. You are now the pod queen!
