Re: Fw: Hey you early seed starters!

I started some datura seeds this weekend. I love them...and they are
very slow to start. If I start them indoors now, by the time spring
rolls around, they are just the right size to transplant.

  LOL! Point taken. The only one I was able to find at a semi-reasonable price 
was through Charley's for $30.00 I think. Of course it only holds two flats. 
They do have bigger ones but I don't have that much space. Actually, I'm 
getting ready to break it out tomorrow. I have to do some propagation for 
one of my classes, so I'm off to buy seeds today.
