We've thankfully got some rain today, so hoping the seeds can germinate. If I can make this work and save some seed, I can expand into other areas too. I like to see how things can grow here, before I apply it on a larger scale. That way I don't spend as much on seed, to realise it won't work. <br /><br />I hope it does work though. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-34365007807400019702015-09-17T06:39:54.165+10:002015-09-17T06:39:54.165+10:00The grevilliea is gorgeous!

Growing grains is a great idea I think-at least for chickens because hand threshing isn't exactly fun in my opinion.

I've never grown Grevillea from seed,...Hi Phil. I've never grown Grevillea from seed, as I've heard its difficult. I purchased mine as tube stock from the local markets. I learned they were even propagated from a local tree in our area, so its done really well!<br /><br />If you want the hardiest Grevillea (and I've grown a few) the Honey Gem would have to be the most die hard. Second only to the tree Grevillea (silky oak) but that can get to over 20 metres, so most people won't grow them in their backyards. Honey Gem can get to about 6 metres. Perfect for small spaces.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-19108745610367627452015-09-11T17:47:22.333+10:002015-09-11T17:47:22.333+10:00Grevillias seem so hard to grow from seed -I have ...Grevillias seem so hard to grow from seed -I have given up.
