Seeds to be sown, part 1
Posted by Stuart under: Cacti; Other Succulents; Propagation .
I get the impression that people don’t always believe me when I talk about the coming “seed-raising campaign”. You see, I have stacks of seed. I am clearly going to have to prioritise at some point. I thought it might be fun to list everything (by source) that is currently unsown for your and my amusement. I’m going to list them in the order in which they present themselves from their various envelopes, boxes, and other miscellaneous packaging…
