Germinating Seeds - Indoors, Paper Towel Method

I'm going to attempt to germinate some seeds today including the following types :

* Pomegranate Seeds ( I am trying to germinate the last four seeds that I have, so wish me luck!)

* Cashew Nut Seeds

* Wisteria Seeds

* Cattails

I'm using the most effective sprouting method for germinating "touchy" seeds that I know of.

You can read my eHow article where I explain how you can germinate seeds indoors using this super easy and effective method. Here is the link :

Pomegranate Seed Finally Sprouted

This is crazy because I tried many different methods of sprouting these pomegranate seeds that I had bought. None of the methods seemed to be working and none of the seeds were sprouting. So I decided to try my usual method of sprouting used for "touchy" seeds. "The Plastic Baggie Method".

This method of sprouting seeds worked all too well for the pomegranate seed! It worked so well in fact that I'm going to try it with the rest of my (expensive) pomegranate seeds right now!

Whats strange is that I had just wrote an article detailing my plastic baggie method on eHow. This is the "seed sprouting" method that happened to work while no others did.

Here is a link to my eHow article :

I will keep you updated concerning the pomegranate seeds and the tiny pomegranate tree (sprout). In addition, I'm working out the whole picture thing.

Pomegranate Seeds

I ordered some pomegranate seeds off of eBay a few days ago and they arrived in the mail today.
I followed the instructions that came with the seeds, which directed me to soak the seeds in warm water for two hours and then plant them in loose/moist soil.

I didn't plant all of the pomegranate seeds so that I could save some of them. Just in case the seeds that I'm sprouting at the moment happen to NOT sprout for some awful reason.

I am also trying a totally different sprouting technique with three of the pomegranate seeds. I am trying to maximize my chances of having any of the seeds sprout. I will keep you updated on both of my seed sprouting processes and I will take plenty of pictures of my new pomegranate adventure.

My whole family has been begging me to grow them some pomegranates and finally the time has come and I'm super happy about it!

I will take pictures throughout the entire growing process of the pomegranate seeds so STAY TUNED! =)

See you soon!
