I have 8 plants in small containers and they are about 8 inches high. I leave the door open unless the temperature goes below 5 c. On reading your blogs I am surprised they have actually grown . I am going away for a few days and hopeing they wil be ok when I return.
I was given a small branch with the cotton wool on and pulled one apart and gound the seed.

That’s great Frieda! Maybe you could send me photos now and then about the progress and I could post them here with a few ideas! We could kick it off with a post about what drove you to try this at home! I outline how I enjoy guest info on the site here https://janiceperson.com/cotton/love-cotton-write-guestpost/ 🙂

I can’t tell you how excited I was to see your post today with the photos of your seedlings! You see, I’m determined to bring back some of my heritage by planting a few cotton seeds along my fence, and also in a few flower beds. I started a few in peat pots back in March because this Mississippi weather loves to play tricks on us! Mine are about the same size as those in your photos, which reassured me I’m on the right track, so far! The only thing that concerns me is my soil! It was mostly clay until we added sand and some rich topsoil. When I asked the guy at Lowes for help selecting a loamy amendment, he didn’t know what I was talking about! So I opted to getting a few bags of compost and plan to just work some into the soil before I set my babies out. If you have any suggestions for anything else I need to do, they would be greatly appreciated. I’ve watched all your videos, and they were very informative and so interesting!
Come fall, I’m praying for my very own Southern ‘snow’! Blessings to you, my friend!

Freida

I like to supplement my son’s learning and this is an awesome addition to the world of science. “Ever knew how your shirt started out..?”
