SEEDS / GARDENING QUESTION
- HOW TO PLANT 100'S OF SEEDS? (see pic!)
Saved a lot of seeds - 10's / 100+
Question is making these babies grow (even on hit and miss basis...)
Any help appreciated before I kinda DIY it outside (not much space inside really! I know the cold is needed to stratify / help germinate seed (cold helps start the process) but who know how deep etc
Pic shows:
-Plum seed (smaller)
-Apricot seeds (larger)

@freeschool the larger seeds look like peaches and not apricot. As much as I know, apricot and plum seeds look very similar in size and shape.
I usually plant fruit trees on the good luck method. Make sure to have a well fertile piece of land and separate the seeds about 30cm apart and about 30cm deep.
The dry season is what kills them, so in the warmer months remember to water regularly. After about 2a, dig them out and give them more space to grow, 2m space is usually enough for these small trees.
@barefootstache *Woops* they are Peaches yes, much bigger
I had them out in sun for a bit hmm might now have been best
I was thinking to put them all kinda in a pyramid considering I don't want them here locally but to give them to others (so a bit of a twist there to plays)
But I could plant few and do both ways
just to keep it centralised an know where seeds are I was thinking this:
/.\
/.....\ pyramid of soil with seeds
/..........\
and then I can dig them more safely from bottom and replant in pots and bring inside (but might take years to hatch no? So need a place for long term which a pile could serve)
I know this is all highly unorthodox but find a path if you can in all that...
@barefootstache
So I'll do this in the coming week as pyramid... I read something about adding a chemical which helps like much more (first pdf on this page https://www.gardenfundamentals.com/seed-germination-dr-deno/) but I'm not sure I'd have that chemical anyway bit seem like much more consistent in their lab tests / proper testing).
So with pyramid yes fertile soil and I'll kind make it evenly spread and tiered like sweets in a cake
@freeschool vertically farming might be an option for you. Plus most fruit trees give their first yield at year 5.
