2023 June ?

I planted most of the seeds from an 18lb store bought jackfruit. They were located near a west facing wall of my house with a 1 year old moringa tree a couple of feet to the south and west. Some of the seeds were soaked in water for a day or two before planting. All of the seeds were moistened and then coated with SFA before planting.

First few seeds sprouted. I have also added shade in the form two pallets and extra slats of wood to fill in the gaps.

The way the leaves are curling and contorting makes me think these aren’t going to make it.

I covered the plant with frost cloth and put a string of incandescent C9 lights under the frost cloth on a thermostat set to 50F.

Most of the seedlings made it through the winter but don’t look terribly healthy. I planted more seeds next to the first batch.
