I've just noticed that I have got buds on two of my cotton plants. The plants are not terribly happy, I think I have not been feeding them enough. I was hoping they wouldn't get too big for the miniature greenhouse. The weather has also been pretty grim. However, I am very excited that I might get a flower or two.
This variety is GreenCot from Cotton Acres. and produces naturally coloured olive-green cotton. This is what the seeds looked like when they arrived.
I found out that you don't have to shave the seeds to get them to germinate. In fact, it seemed to stop them germinating. All of the seeds sprouted that I just shoved into pumice as they were.
