Sowing Japanese black pine

Soaked the seeds of black pine in the water for one night. The purpose is; 1) To make seeds absorb water and 2) To identify good seeds.

Big ones are seeds of Japanese white pine.

Not all the seeds are sunk. Sunken seeds are good.

I used a cup of instant soup noodles as a pot. Make small holes by toothpicks.

Put soil into it. White things are fertilizer.

It is difficult to see but do you see the seeds? Put few more soil on the seeds and… done!

Water a lot in the end.

I expect buds come out in one month… or two?
