Well, now I can't kick the habit. It's that time of year again. I went to the supermarket in San Diego and I could not resist picking up four dehusked coconuts. Two dark and two "white". They all have the same brand. They're from Mexico. But this time they don't specify east or west coast. They're big. So they're the tall variety.

Disclaimer: you can take coconuts into Mexico as part of ones' groceries.  

 

It's against my better judgment to germinate these little fellas, since I have no room to grow them. Here again, it's become a habit of mine. 

I soaked them in a 5 gallon bucket. Two of them sank, almost instantly.  One white and one dark.  The other two floated. Yes, all were checked for cracks and made sure they had plenty slushing water inside before purchasing. 

But let's see what happens.

Here are the pics.they are now in my "greenhaus".

Btw, this winter hasn't had winter weather. We've been hitting mid 80's these past several days.

It's 11am (pst) and we're at 81f.
