No, they are not frog eggs Papaya Seeds ( photo / image / picture from KK Ng's Garden ) My mum gave me a papaya from her plant this evening. According to her it is a species from Hawaii. It is different from most of the papayas I had eaten before especially the texture of the flesh, it is firm and deliciously sweet. I thought of planting a plant from the seeds the next day or some other time but I wasn't sure if the seeds could be kept because of the way it is. Anyone had any experience keeping papaya seeds for more than a month?
ewww kk! they do look like frog's eggs! i have no experience with papayas, but here's a couple of links i found about papaya seeds and planting them that might help... http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load ... 11997.html http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load ... 11463.html http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load ... 29488.html
Thanks Bunkie, I had saved some after they were air dried. Will try planting them if those that I planted after the meal did not germinate
Hi KK, Here is a white paper on Papaya seed storage and germination. http://psasir.upm.edu.my/3338/1/Influen ... bility.pdf Jerry P.S. They do look like frogs eggs
Thanks Jerry, their best result is also air dried in the shade which is what I did. Guess that is the right way to store them 'frog eggs'
