Grow lists for MAGTAG 2008 - Page 2

Cecilia -

I've had problems with Black Cherry for 2 years now ...
Def. a "toughy" to germinate.
However, after finding a good source, I'll have plenty of fresh seed after this season as I have 4 plants!

Tom,

Those seeds were probably meant for you last year :-)

I found the stamped envelope in a winter coat.

I repotted my poor lonely Black Cherry plant into a yogurt container yesterday. And guess what - NONE of my Paul Robesons have germinated! There's a little weed that looks like lambs' quarters coming up in one of the pots, but no P.R.s

bluekat · March 31, 2008

Gene - none of them have germinated. I put a few more in the cells so we shall see.

gflynn · April 1, 2008

I had a row of about 25 Black Cherry plants in 16oz cups that I had put on the railing of my deck. I wanted to water them and let them drain with out getting the whole deck wet.

Well... My two year old son Dominic starts playing a game of running out onto the deck and back into the house. Luanne goes out to see what he's up too. Turns out that he pushed each and every plant over the side of the deck.

I took him out and had him help me fix the problem. I lost about half of them. He promises not to do it again :-)

spkfero · April 1, 2008

Greg:

Feel your pain...Sunday my just-turned-two year old daughter wanted to look at seed tray--had about 10-12 seeds that were just coming out. Phone rang I took the call. Came back and found she has pulled them all out...wanted to help and give them to me.

I reseeded...but lost a couple of varities I only had a few seeds for

We also had a little talk...

gflynn · April 1, 2008

Mark,

Are they popular variaties? I may have some and can mail them to you.
