| So I am sitting here in the middle of yet another MN snowstorm dreaming of hostas. And I had an idea...if I tredged through the snow and cut off some open pods...could I potentially bring the seeds inside and germinate them sucessfully...or do I just have to wait until next fall? Between snow and sick kids...I am going CRAZY!!! Thanks--Jenna |

If there are any seeds left in the open pods, give it a try.
Ideally, you should have harvested the seeds in the fall just before they popped.

| They should germinate - I don't see why they wouldn't. |

| Thanks everyone. I am really looking forward to get them growing. This has been one of the snowiest (is that a word?) winters I can remember--and its getting really old, really fast!! |
