Seeds Arrive!

Today my first batch of seeds arrived from Whatcom.  I don't have much to say except that I'm super excited!  I've already started soaking some of them.  The other palms should arrive within the next few weeks.  I also transplanted my largest Moringa stenopetala into larger pots today.  Three of the five look fine but I'm worried about the other two.

  3. @Rika, thanks, hopefully they grow well!

    @Julie, It really is amazing. It wasn't even extra shipping for the huge seeds!

  5. Good luck with the seeds

    But quick question - what to do with Stevia once you have one? I've come by a plant and don't really know what to do with it.

  6. @Laura, This ones are actually similar to mini coconuts. They are even edible. They're soaking right now. Many people have them sprout in less than a month but up 6!

    @Andrew, You can sweeten stuff with the leaves like coffee/tea. You can let the set in water and mix that into sweet recipes or dressing. Maybe even just eat some raw leaves if you want a snack.
