None of my styrax seeds germinated this year. I suspect I didn't give them enough warm stratification before going to cold. So they've been hanging out outside all summer - I'll see if any pop up next spring.

Got some oranges today. I’m going to attempt an orange grove
Not sure if I should plant in seedling tray or do the wet paper towel trick. I think they may take a month to sprout

Fun, I have a perfect thing for this!
I have slowly over the last few years set aside volunteers that i find in my pots, flower baskets and elsewhere on my property. Usually these are from the massive Douglas Fir, redwood, mountain ash or native willows I have on the property. A few weeks ago I finally sorted a handful of redwood? Into a forest arraignment with the plan of continuing to add more as the years go on to increase the age and size difference represented.
I plan to do a few more forests, I have a few flats full of strange mystery sprouts and seedling volunteers. So I may go in a few directions for the first year and see which ones excite me further on.

I also have about 400 JP seedlings i got at just sprouted 1-2 leaf infants about 4 years ago and now are a bush little carpet nagging to have a better life. Been slowly separating, sorting, and marking ones that have interesting qualities (so impressive the variety coming from a single seed source!) was thinking of doing a trunk fusion project with a large handful of them. Maybe I will also do a forest or two.

Good morning everyone!
I was wondering if I could still enter this contest. I planted these on February 14th 2021.
I was about to transplant the seedlings into a bigger pot (individually) when i ran into this contest.
Below is the link to my original post regarding the seedlings.

Cool, you can join! If the seeds sprouted before December 2020, put them in the sapling division. If after, they can be in the “from seed” division.

Planning to update my forest threads in the next 2 months with some fall color shots and/or winter silhouette shots. This is the accountability reminder post, lol.
