Hi All,
Introduction
I started two weeks back after I tried multiple times in getting my all 3-4 years collection of bagseeds. I learnt that the seeds loose viability over the years as I was able to germinate them successfully two years back. I was only germinating them just for fun but never growing them. Until recently I had some time for myself to grow them and tried germinating the seeds.
I have been trying for months and the seeds pops and gets into a fungal infection and dies.
I almost gave up and got some seeds and just for sake I tried germinating. Surprise, out of 5, two germinated and even had roots as fresh and lengthy and thats when I realised my old collections are good for nothing anymore.
This time, instead of scraping the sprouts, I decided to grow. I was careless and I had my hopes high that I can get seeds anytime and grow them anytime. This time I didn't give any excuse.
I put the first sprout in an outdoor pot. It saw world in two days. The other one took some time.
