More “damp paper towel and a plastic bag” action
16/03/11: Just noticed that one of the original Fatalli’s has germinated! At Day 61!
Total of 2/6 of the V2 germinated, plus the tardy little V1! (1/6)
Ended up with 2 plants… healthy, but very slow growing… Took an age to flower, and then promptly started to drop them. irritatingly, the little fruit that had started to set are also dropping! As of today (20/08/11) I am entirely “Fatalii-less”: Bugger!
Oh Well… Here’s to over-wintering for a head start next year
November 2011: I lightly pruned these to encourage ripening of the few fruit that set… They seem relatively happy as they are, and are starting to show signs of sprouting again, so I’ll leave them as they are
