Hello happy iris folks...
I am to give a short program this week on starting irises from seed, and
growing them indoors. I use the method promoted by John Coble and Bob Bauer
which involves a 10 day cycle of soaking and rinsing, and then 10 weeks in
the veggie bin (by the way... we should take a poll on the contents of
gardeners' vegetable bins... bet there are few with actual vegetables in
them!)
Anyway...
That's the method I intend to offer... but it occurs to me that with all the
folks on this list, there are probably other techniques, and I'd like to hear
them. This does not include, BTW, "sticking the seed in the ground" <-:
So, does anyone have any tricks, techniques, special potting medium, special
lighting, optimum heat for germination, ANY information they'd like to pass
along...
it'll make us all better growers.... and hopefully, make me look smarter.
Thank you

trimming and labeling
