Coconut Experiment


Over a year ago I told the kids that I had a seed for each one of them to plant when they arrived in Hawai'i.  I surprised them with coconuts--giant seeds.  F's probably weighed as much as she did.  We tried planting them halfway buried in soil.  (In the picture above they have dried out in the last month and the soil has pulled away.)  I read that it can take six months for a sprout to appear, so we watered them for a year.  However, they did not germinate so I am calling this one quits.  It might be for the best.  I am not sure what we would do with them if they did sprout.  Our landlord has told us not to plant them on the property we are renting.
