If you’re starting from seeds, you can start anytime you want as long as you have a place where you can do it indoors or in a greenhouse. They require a lot of heat to germinate. I usually start mine germinating November December January timeframe so they are sprouting by spring when I can take them out side
Do you remove the outer husk before soaking
Yes I remove the “gingerbread” like shell before soking
Mine have rooted, about 6inch root. How much longer before it sprouts a bloom?
Could be any day. Be on the lookout for a tiny red spike to start emerging
When does the growing season begin? Can I do it now?
