Two of my monkey nuts have germinated. They are in the heated propagator.

I just found out that they are a bean rather than a nut - so Monkey Bean Challenge it is thenI have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

Keep trying Sparrow, I've put more nuts in the original modules in the heated prop & they are showing signs of growth, so must be the heat that's done it.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

I still haven't started mine...need to get compost. Do you put the whole nut in the compost, i.e. shell and all?sigpicComment

I took them out of their shells and stood them on end (upright) in the compost, in a heated propagator. They're germinating at different rates though

Finally, some activity..Looks like the nut has pushed itself up above the compost, hope that's ok?
I have these in a dark warm room, so presume its time to move them somewhere light and airy (and still warm obviously).............I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

Mine are getting too big for the Geopod now, so moving under my LED growlights which will be a bit cooler for them, but I think they're strong enough.
