Seafoam Trees - well eventually

A bit tongue in cheek - perhaps in the greenhouse as opposed to on the workbench.

Looking at the prices of seafoam I thought I’d give it a go growing some - the jury is still out as to whether this really will be worth the effort.

A long way to go. :D

my parents brought some on from seed for me... when did you sow yours?

Only about four weeks ago, which I’m suspecting may have been too late in the year. They were sown in the pots and kept in a small propagator tray on a south facing window. They germinated very quickly but came up very thin, almost hair like. They were only potted up this week.

My parents are bringing what they've grown for me this weekend... I'll take some pictures and we can compare notes!

Without seeming to turn this into a gardening forum, the seafoam ‘experiment’ continues, further repotting soon.

You sure you're growing Seafoam? They look like Cannabis plants! :o :D
Hope they grow OK into Seafoam plants

I didn’t think seafoam looked like that.

That is seafoam - remember we all looked different when we were young. Same for seafoam. ;)
