Coffee on your window-sill

The care was up to the mark. But they have been staying for two, three and even five months, and I had not got any results. Then I digged out the ground and saw that they were off and away – beans were simply rotted.

By that time my friends had already ripe berries on the other coffee bush, and again I got a pair of them (at that, one of them had two grains, however it should be only one). Now I decided to deal with them in such a way as I have done with seeds of tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins. I put them on a humid filter (toilet) paper into the Petri dish. The seeds were absolutely fresh, but during the observation (about two months) I have not noticed any changes, like swelling, point of sprouting, etc.
