Last time I almost gave up on >them germinating. Their barren brown patches of soil in the seedling >tray looked so lonely in the forest of seedlings sprouting up around >them. Finally, they poked small tentative tendrils out. I am glad to read about your experience with rocotos being poor germinators. I got some seeds from Cameron Begg (thanks again!) about 4 weeks ago, and none of them has shown yet. I was on the point of giving up but now they are free to take their time. Regards, Ingrid
