Checking the progress of my harvested peony seeds. All seems to be going well. Several of them already have a long radicle (first root), whilst you can see in the image there’s at least one already starting the growth of the plumule (first shoot). That will clearly be one needing little cold… Not all are this far and not all are successful, but…Read More
