: I have a mature Trumpet Vine from which I've harvested
the seed pods for two years and have,(as Carl Sagen
might have said), "billions and billions" of seeds.
I have two acres of desert land in Northern Arizona
that is well fenced..and have a desire to decorate the
fence with Trumpet Vines every three feet..or so..
How to plant them, (the seeds) for growing new plants?
and how to water? Should I use a potting soil in the
hole..aka: seed bed? Should I try to grow new plants in
pots and transplant?..if so..when? at what size?
We are blessed with aprox 350 days a year of sunshine
and even tho the temp. sometimes drops to the 30's
it seldom freezes.
Thanks..Ol' Dave

OL' DAVE: Yes, start your seeds in small containers or seed beds, transplant them into pots for year or so and then plant along the fence. Remember the seeds that you plant and the seedlings you get may not be true to the variety you harvested the seeds from, particularly if this is an improved variety. MVG Plant Dr.
