sprouting acorns
Yesterday at lunchtime, C spotted these burr oak acorns sprouting on the kitchen window sill.
Not quite sure what to do from here. They haven't had a cold stratification, but maybe they don't need one?
I'm not so sure they'd do well planted up and grown inside the house over the winter with the dry air and varying temperatures that come with wood heating, not to mention the darkness. It might be nice, however, to have something to tend indoors through the winter.
As the weather has been so mild, I may be able to find a spot in the garden not yet frozen in which to plant them.
Or, maybe they could be planted in soil and be kept in the refrigerator over the winter to be planted out when the weather warms again?
Any thoughts?
