Your Questions About Gardening

John asks…

Does anyone know if it is okay to try growing flower seeds in coffee grounds? I tried it today!?

First, I don’t know if seeds are compatible with just the contents alone of coffee grounds. Secondly, I think the coffee might just solidify with water added to it, and that would just give the seeds an environment to grow in equal to sludgy molasses! It already looks like molasses in there, where I’ve planted the marigold seeds I pulled out of my growing marigolds I already have been successful in getting to grow with soil. Should I stick to soil, or should I go ahead and put some faith in a different kind of medium for growing seeds? My main question now is, would anyone recommend giving this new method of growing a try, or do you think I should give up the experiment, and realize that it’s a hopeless cause to expect seeds to survive in such a different environment? Don’t be afraid to tell my any of your own personal experiences. This would be a great science experiment, but I just want to find out if any of you have experience in the field so that I can know if it will be worth my time invested in trying to grow the marigold seeds. I think it would be a great thing to look forward to, and I will post on here a reply to anyone who knows some good information about this endeavor that I’m taking with my planting experiment. I will be celebrating their growth, if they do show up inside the glass jar I have already planted them inside, and I might even post a picture of their growth after finding out if it actually can happen in the environment they are currently surviving inside. I hope to find out from someone with valid experience in the field of growing seeds if this is worth my time invested in growing my marigold seeds I have currently planted in plain ground coffee. Thanks for your time you have taken to consider the questions I have on this matter of opinion. I’m hoping that someone with expert knowledge about gardening will have some ideas to offer on this question. It is probably often thought about by young children, but never really has been answered yet on the adult level of experience.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I would think the PH level of coffee grounds would be to much on the acidy side of the scale to grow most plants.

Helen asks…

Do coffee bean seeds really grow?

I really want to grow my own coffee bean plant in my home but I don’t know if they grow well. I saw the seeds on Amazon so if you have experience planting please help. Just tell me if they work well on a scale of 1-5 and what is the best way to grow them. P.S its to hot out for me to grow them outside but I have tons of plants indoors. Thanks for your time and help 😀

GardenersCardiff answers:

I’ve only ever purchased a small plant. Germination may be difficult.
The plant itself is fickle and is highly unlikely to produce berries until after 5 years, and this is with optimal conditions. In your case, it will need to be potted, which means it will probably never flower or grow fruit. But you can still have a nice plant if you care for it correctly. They like bright, totally INdirect sunlight, high humidity, and rich soil. Mine has maintained in temps as high as 100*F, it just cannot be in direct sun. Definitely needs indoor protection in the winter.

Sandy asks…

Where Would be able to buy fresh coffee beans(seeds) for gardening purposes?

I love coffee, and I’ve recently took gardening as a hobby to enjoy the summer. Yes I know It can be a hard task to grow and refine your own beans, but that’s the beauty of it!
please help me. I live in Fresno/central valley California.

Thank you very much 🙂

GardenersCardiff answers:

This is a good overview, and you can find other sources for seeds. Many nurseries also carry the plants, which make good houseplants, even if you’re not trying to grow in order to harvest.
