Post by: Anthony Darby on March 04, 2016, 09:45:56 AM: Not to worry. I only saw this thread today.
Title: Re: who know it ? ( puzzles 2016 )
Post by: Karaba on May 02, 2016, 12:31:21 PM: 3 of the five seeds germinated (the other 2 were empty) and here is their first leave (from 2 cm to 5 cm). They grow well and I hope that they will be big enough to overwinter at the end of the year.
Thanks again, Hans ;)
