endorfinder Posted February 20, 2013 Hey guys, I just got myself 10 fresh Wasabia japonica seeds without stopping to think how inappropriate they are for the climate... would any tasmanian or other cold climate members like to volunteer to grow them and perhaps one day give me a taste? I'll hang on to two and try and grow them in a controlled climate here but I don't like my chances! 4 seeds each to the first two posters from somewhere appropriate (3-20° optimal temp), cheers -ef 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
