Re: Re: HYB: technique - seed germination

Donald, I will keep results posted. Marking new sprouts with tooth picks as 
they emerge. will try to post reference photo when I know something. Gonna 
try removing some of the tall seedlings and keep watering pot they were in 
too. All are too precious to be kilt (Southern) on purpose. When they bloom, 
that's another story.

Wives woulda left all of us by now if they were gonna.

Get gallon heavy duty freezer bags. Dump dirt and seeds from pots in bag. Add 
enough water to keep em wet. Put your marker in bag or write on bag. Mash bag 
flat so it stacks easy. Wives like neat. Wrap several bags together in 
aluminum foil to keep dark. Place in frig. Check bags each time wife rages. 
Frig should hold 30 or so bags with no problem. Remove when you see some 
green and plant or when wife threatens diviorce and packs her stuff (which 
ever comes first). Don't worry too much if she packs yours. That just means 
she's real mad. Haven't tried this with dirt yet but the paper towel stuff 
and quart bags work pretty good (80% germination last year) without diviorce. 
Too many seeds this year. Pots were cheaper than another frig or wife.
