I check 'em every day...nothing yet. 🙁
We could use some warm weather (like Edmonton!) 🙂

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Not one made it, I was really disappointed.
They had perfect sprouting conditions in the warm sun, always kept a little moist.
Maybe some fruit is irradiated as it's imported to Canada ?!?
Would that fry the seeds?
It's the only thing I can think of.

They shouldn't be. Somethings not right, I have 100% germination every time I set some seed.

OK that was my next guess, then.
It's me that bombed the seeds! 😥

I am not piling on, but, I have germinated many seeds and given them away to friends and neighbors. I am not sure how many are still growing, all I know is mine are still growing and thorning. Try another bag of key limes, I am sure you'll get it done this time.

I planted them right away, without letting them dry, after they were removed from the fruit.
Was that right?
And my friends all say I've got a green thumb, ha ha 😉
Okeedokee, will try again.

I planted mine right away without letting the seed dry. I washed them off and planted in small cups , put a plastic bag over the cup for humidity and placed in a warm place. They should begin to pop in just a few weeks. Good luck.

That's EXACTLY what I did, including the plastic bag to keep humidity levels up!
Maybe they were too cold while in the fridge...
This time of year, maybe the basement woodstove area is warm enough to start them.
Will try again.
Thanks!
