Margaret, thanks for this info:

I've long wondered about whether anybody had really investigated this 
subject.  It's particularly important to me because I did not get seeds 
planted indoors earlier this spring.  It's store-bought or direct-seeded, 
perforce, for me in 2001.

Thanks again.--Janet
