Shari's Planthouse

Super successful plant sale today. Thank you to everyone who came by. I made so many new plant friends, many right here in my neighborhood! 🤩 Message me if you see something you need in your yard!

Seed starting is full speed ahead in the planthouse! Every gardener I know is anxiously watching their seed trays looking for any sign of life. I was excited to see these loofah seeds coming up.

I loved growing loofah last year and have sooo many seeds. I’ve always heard the white seeds won’t germinate (some folks actually toss them out!) so I decided to do an experiment. I planted 36 white seeds and 36 black seeds in this tray. The first ones coming up are from the white seed side of the tray.

The important thing is the thickness of the seed - it should be thick like a pumpkin or watermelon seed, not flat like paper. Just like in life, it’s what’s on the inside that matters, not the color on the outside. Plant away!
