It’s been close to a year since I posted this thread, in which I asked what to do with the jasmine seed pods I discovered in my garden. You gave me some great advice, though unfortunately due most likely to operator error my planting experiment was not successful. I did soak the seeds as instructed and then, living in the warm climate of Florida, I put them directly in the ground. No results whatsoever. But that’s okay; I’ll consider it a trial.
Now my yard is LOUSY with pods; there must be 30 of them. Oddly, only one looks close to bursting - possibly a leftover from last season(?)- while the others probably won’t be ready until early next year. That’s pretty much what happened the last time.
So, now I want to give it another shot and I think I can ask more specific questions this time.
The stuff I’ve read seems to say that in warmer climates the seeds can go straight into the ground. As I mentioned, this didn’t work for me. How a seed in warm earth with ample sunshine and water can fail to sprout I do not know, but mine did not. So, should I bother trying to put the seeds directly in the soil again, this time maybe using a different method?
I saw a seed starter kit that has individual little pots and a plastic cover to create a sort of green house. Have any of you used one of those? How many seeds per “pot” do I use?Assuming they sprout, how big should I let them get before putting them in the ground?
Any helpful hints or tricks anyone can think of are welcome and appreciated.
