The best way to grow Spicebush is
to collect the red berries in the fall, delicately chew the flesh off the seeds
so you don't crush the seed, and eat it, take the seed and plant it. It should
germinate by the upcoming spring. The taste of the berry will linger with you
for a while, but it freshens your breath and leaves a nice spicy flavor behind. |

Poke Weed (Phytolacca
Poke Weed is a
perennial plant that grows good in average soils in direct sun or partial shade
and is hardy in growing zones 4-9. For best germination results, soak the
seeds in sulfuric acid solution for 5 minutes. Poke seeds germinate best
in the wild after being passed through a bird's digestive system. Birds love the
berries, but they are poisonous to humans so do not eat the seeds. Poke
greens should be picked early in the spring before they get over 4-6" high. Boil
in two changes of water before using in your recipe.

Seed
germination for citron melon and watermelons:
There is no
seed dormancy in cultivated seed- and watermelons, but germination is retarded
under high temperature regimes. Germination can be accelerated by pre-soaking in
water for 24 hours after scarifying the seed at one end, especially for
cultivars which have a hard seed coat. Seed germinates best at temperatures of
17°C at night and 32°C at daytime and also at a constant temperature of 22°C. It
will not germinate at temperatures below 15°C. Light has an inhibitory effect. (van
der Vossen et al., 2004)
Growth, development and
pollination:
Seed will remain viable for at
least 8 years when stored dry at temperatures below 18°C. Emergence of the
seedling takes 5–7 days. Cotyledons unfold after 10–12 days and the first true
leaf appears one week later. In egusi melon lateral branches are produced on the
main stem from node 4–6 and the first male flower is formed on node 8–11 at
35–50 days after sowing, the first female flowers on node 15–25 at 45–60 days
after sowing. In watermelon both the first male and female flowers are formed
somewhat later. The first female flowers often have poorly developed ovaries and
fail to set fruit. Flowering peaks 50–80 days after germination. Flowers open
shortly after sunrise and remain open only one day. Pollination occurs in the
morning and is done by insects, predominantly bees. Ample deposition of pollen
on all three stigmas is necessary for regular fruit development. Within 24 hours
after pollination the pedicel starts to elongate and bends downward with the
swelling ovary. The fruits of watermelon are mature 30–50 days after
pollination. At maturity the green fruit stalk turns brown.
