Well the order from Whatcom came in. They really wrap those seeds to make sure nothing happens to them. And such pretty instruction sheets too. But I think I would do with less pretty and less cost. That's just me though.

Anyway the white bird of paradise seeds they suggest soaking rather than scarification so I'm doing a "Weezie" three soak and three scarified. Hopefully something comes up lol.

The coffee is a soak to, but for much longer 2 to 3 days. That was quite a suprise but then I'm willing to do much more than that to get coffee on the stem.

Rubber chicken dance of happiness today. I got to plant something lol.

YEAH! I hope it all comes up for you! Are these going to be kept inside?

yes they are both tropical so they have to stay inside. Although I guess once they are settled they could go out in the summer. But then they both get big enough that taking them downstairs may not be something I would be willing to do by then. I was suprised to read that the coffee plant can take up to 6 months to sprout. That's a really long time isn't it?
