Mine have rotted for the second time. Am giving it one last go and then calling it a day.

I agree, they are tougher than what they are perceived to be!Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostMost of mine germinated in the heated prop. As soon as they were through I put them on the windowsill and, on fine sunny days, I'd carry them out into the GH and back in again at dusk.
However, about a week ago I forgot them and they've been in the GH ever since. Still alive - that's a positive
After i potted mine on I could only carry a box full home in one go. This left three plants that had germinated but hadn't grown much. I potted them on and just left them in the greenhouse. We've recently had a good few days where the overnight temperature in the greenhouse has dropped below freezing. Monkey nuts are still there and appear to be thriving!

My monkey nuts have all taken. They are chugging away quite nicely. I have potted the first lot on now.sigpicComment

The last of the ones I sowed finally germinated after I had given up on it..
All the others are sitting at a window slowly progressing...I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

Mine are still in the GH - about 2 weeks after I forgot to bring them in
Still alive and probably due to be potted on.Comment

Mine are not doing as well as they were a few weeks ago.
Think they suffered a bit of neglect while I was away.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

I also have failed quite a bit at this, awaiting seeds from my mums suitcase in the next week or so. I do have one survivor that has not grown at all and is sitting stubborn and now going a little yellow about 2cm tall.I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them
