It has only been 2 weeks so I'll be patient.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683550356771846876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-86923904401961990702012-04-18T16:18:11.881+01:002012-04-18T16:18:11.881+01:00Not one I have tried from seed.

If you do, you could try turning the heat off at night and then on again in the morning. That has worked for me in the past. That and re-using the compost for something else is normally a cert to have seedlings coming up in unusual places.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-36659913224289977172012-04-18T14:10:25.410+01:002012-04-18T14:10:25.410+01:00I'm trying to grow these from seed, no germina...I'm trying to grow these from seed, no germination yet I'm afraid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683550356771846876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-18449951182237577372012-04-18T11:06:46.474+01:002012-04-18T11:06:46.474+01:00Thank you Becc.Thank you Becc.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-15898563466541315392012-04-18T11:06:30.029+01:002012-04-18T11:06:30.029+01:00I do think we tend to spoil them.

So short of summer planting, they will not be featuring in my hardy bed. Kept dry though they seem fine down to -7 and I now keep it in the shed over winter.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-34989037007292122982012-04-18T10:23:00.018+01:002012-04-18T10:23:00.018+01:00looking forward to reading your postslooking forward to reading your postsBechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447422023432443913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-57470604003942681752012-04-18T06:44:12.552+01:002012-04-18T06:44:12.552+01:00I want to make a larger garden this year in my fro...I want to make a larger garden this year in my front yard. We would have to cut some yard away. And I am realizing this year that succulents are hardier than I thought and by putting them in the garage I am sometimes doing them more harm than good.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238598581399721410.post-36462143767910009862012-04-18T00:31:26.946+01:002012-04-18T00:31:26.946+01:00I for one am very interested.
