My medjool date palm seeds germinated! :eek: internet said it would take 90 - 100 days. Was 9 days! I planted 30 of them and domed them. about 20 left, and maybe a dozen that I haven't soaked yet.

Well, I'll be damned.

Goats returned today. :ep Skinny but apparently okay.

IDK, there weren't tracks away from their pasture. No tracks back to the pasture today. And no tracks in the pasture for the last month.

Alien abduction? IDK. So strange.

I'm glad they're okay!!
That's wonderful news! If a bit of a mystery!

@tortoise What are you going to do with 30 date palm plants?
I am hoping to sell them. I buy dates to eat that work out to $0.50 each (usually less). That's a bit pricey for my opinion, but if I can sell date palms to offset the cost... eh, that would be pretty sweet. I have no idea how fast they grow, but maybe next year before Easter I can sell some? IDK!

That's a great idea. I'd like to know how fast they grow too. Where did you get the seed? Did you just save the seeds from dates?
