Elisha 1 #1 October 11, 2007 I planted some seeds around a month or so ago. Will I get any flowers before freezing weather comes and kills them? Since it doesn't get that much below freezing here, maybe I can put some plastic over them to prevent it. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #2 October 11, 2007 many many variables, and all plants differ in germination lengths but you are better off planying WELL before spring if you want them to flower IN springYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glitch 0 #4 October 11, 2007 Well... IMHO, wrong time of year to be planting seeds. But since ya did, I'll assume you don't have any more seeds nor a mother to cut clones from. Assumming you have seedlings sprouted already, gently dig them up and place 4-6 of them equally spaced in a 10-15 gal rubbermaid tub along with additional miracle grow potting soil and vermiculite (the styrofoam looking stuff that holds moisture). Place these closely ( The general time line can be shortened up a lot via hydroponice versus soil, cloning versus seeds, the amount of vertical growing room you have, and how green your thumb is! Oh...btw....don't forget to post pics and send me some brownies! I love brownies after a great day of jumping! Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...

Elisha 1 #5 October 11, 2007 Woa. That's way too much work. These were just: 1) 3 random packs of "red, white and blue flowers" seeds and 2) a small piece of paper with seeds (wedding favor). I thought I would just plant them. ...and I hardly ever make brownies and NOT the kind that I think you're thinking of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some seeds have to lie in warm water for 10 days before their shells soften enough to open up. Without knowing anything about the seeds you planted the advice Glitch gave you is probably the most logical to make sure that your seedlings make it thru the winter. If you have no real interest in the little brown things you stuck in the earth, just by a couple of red, white and blue, greenhouse seedlings next spring and stick em in the ground. You will probably be able to kill them in about 3 to six weeks, unless there is a drought, in which it will take about 10 days.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
