Growing Myrciara vexator gives new meaning to the word patience



I've been patient with seeds before, but growing blue grape (Myrciara vexator) has pushed my patience to the limit.

I got 2 seeds early January, it has taken till now for one of the seeds to germinate. I placed it under my egg plant bushes and almost forgot about it. When I looked this week I saw a small leaf coming out ! The other seed germinated about 2 months ago and is now about 4 inches tall (2nd picture).

    Well, at least they finally DID germinate. I've been waiting two years for Tropaeolum speciosum or hardy nasturtium seed to germinate. I think I can safely assume that it won't. But something keeps me holding out hope.

    I think you can safely assume they're not going to germinate :)

    Last year I grew a miracle fruit from seed, it took 6 months to germinate. I placed it outside and forgot to bring it in the first night we had frost and it dies. 6 months waisted !
