Branching Out
Deeply Rooted
I grew calendula for the first time last year and were they ever wonderful to have in the garden-- but I had trouble getting them to germinate. Very weird seeds. They seem almost prehistoric. Since it is winter and I have time on my hands I decided to try sprouting a few on a moist paper towel, and some long, weak scraggly things appeared. Does anyone know if those are sprouts? And will the tiny little seahorse-like things actually germinate too, or is it just the big ones that look like hoop earrings that eventually become plants?
