I experience the same thing when it comes to germinating seeds. Sometimes nothing comes out of the whole packet of seeds, sometimes all the seeds germinate succcessfully, only to be washed off by one thunderstorm! Here's wishing you better luck next time.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307218647909468785.post-88646752588214437482010-04-27T06:25:14.420+05:302010-04-27T06:25:14.420+05:30OH NO!

My best advice is to let it grow until you know for sure. I do admire your perseverance, though; I wouldn't have the patience to wait 4 years for a grape hyacinth!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307218647909468785.post-63019499904708262342010-04-26T11:06:40.951+05:302010-04-26T11:06:40.951+05:30Gosh, I have no idea.

Poof! So was there a bulb inside? Did the pesky, danged, words-that-cannot-be-typed squirrels eat it up? They seemed to have played around with my Sugar Melon seedling, but luckily it survived. It killed my Swainsona seedling by toppling the cup over while trying to reach the Muscari.<br />I'm sure it's squirrel as I've seen two squirrels always playing around. Should spray the garlic around to keep them away. So was it Muscari really? If so, is Muscari edible for squirrels? Hmmmm....<br />I've never seen squirrels attack grasses that grow on other pots... I guess I'll never know what it was.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the encouraging words Skeeter, Meadowview Thymes, Jess, Christine, Noelle, Toni, Catherine, Dani, and Noel.<br /><br />Good luck with your plants, Noel :)Chandramouli Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532146969497878220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3307218647909468785.post-61475424215194643572010-04-25T23:34:45.723+05:302010-04-25T23:34:45.723+05:30aloha,
