Not a thing here, planted March 13th. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!

Also the 14th and no go yet. Patience is a
virtue. I wonder how much I have. However,
this entire procedure is alike to a coin toss
that may have less than a 50-50 chance.
It's still fun taking a chance....JJ61

No pressure, Wildlife...well, maybe a little, but I'm sure you are up to it!

If you look back on page 1 or 2 - Carolyn says it could take months, and I remember stories of almost forgotten seed starting efforts, where people have noticed a seedling long after ignoring it...so who knows, maybe somebody WILL still relieve a little of the pressure...stranger things have happened...

Still nothing here..I started my last 3 seeds a week or so ago..I had held them back in case disaster struck.

Could you post another pic when you get a chance?

SelfSufficient1 · April 20, 2006

Nothing here either. I am down to just checking them in the morning

montanamato · April 20, 2006

Nothing...I had planted the seeds 5 to a cell, and planted the other 3 cells with some varieties that hadn't germinated well the first time. Needless to say the varieties in the other 3 cells have long been transplanted into 4" pots...
I have tried, dark, cold, heat, wet, dry, and voodoo...
I planted on 3/12....................

I'm assuming the deafening silence indicates no luck with any other Hazel seeds.

Wild, looks like it is up to you. Hope that the result is worth the stress :wink:

Any update would be appreciated!

Hey Mike
Plant is growing well. Nice color, stout main
stem. There are 2 suckers almost large enough
to remove and root. My weather has been
both good and bad. Good (for me) that temps are
cool, bad for the plants that the sun is always
trying to get through the heavy cloud layer.
All my plants are approx 1 month behind.
Judging by the fact my Peaches usually ripe in April
are not ready yet.
The media is calling the weather "May Gray",and then
there is the famous "June gloom" just around the corner.
I feel this is a healthy plant and should make fruit.
What kind?

Eight weeks and counting...

SelfSufficient1 · May 19, 2006

Guess it is time to give up. Oh well, looking forward to seeing what that one plant produces.

jerseyjohn61 · May 19, 2006

I've been keeping them damp but hope is fading.
Hey, Wildlife! How goes your progress?....JJ61

WildLife · May 21, 2006

Hey JJ
Hope your plants are green and the flowers yellow!

Plant is healthy. I took 2 cuttings
and am rooting them.
First flower cluster has shown up, 3 flowers on the
Truss? To the more experienced... does this 3 flower
cluster give any hint to the type tomato it is or is not?
I am retarding the growth to get better weather
and a couple backups(rootings). Then will plant them out.
