Hey Chile-heads,
I would like to offer Cameron once again my thanks
for sending me a pkt of Rocotos seeds.
And not kicking me off the list back in 96 when I posted the word
F**K in one of my posts. :-)
I have saved a few thinking that I should not blow all
in a single attempt to start these babies.
I guess it was a good idea because of all the seeds that I attempted to germinate
I ended up with one plant.
A very slooooooooooow growing plant. :-)
Is there something I could do to help promote the germination of these seeds?
Is there something I could do to promote growth?
The plant is very hardy, in spite of its slow growth.
After last year's garden season I brought it inside, it had been slowly
mulling over the idea of actually becoming something other than a sprout as
it sat there in it's four inch peat pot.
At present it's about eight inches tall.
I don't know about the rest of you but after a full summer season of
gardening I get a bit burned out.
So this plant has suffered some small abuse.
I watered it when I remembered.
Like God in the Sahara.
Yet there it sits, alive and well.
Under florescent lights and little water.
I look forward to setting it out in the sun of the palindromic summer that
comes.
Any one got a virgin I can sacrifice?
Jose
