Re: HYB: Germination, chilling

Thanks for the warning, Mary Lou. Temperatures on the sunporch range from around 40 to 60oF, so growth is not very fast out there, but maybe I should put these guys back in the fridge at least until I get some pots ready for them! 

<Just a reminder that your seeds can sprout and grow very fast
at room temps.  Check them every day, if you don't want to have
to disentangle fragile roots.....Each individual cross goes back in the crisper here when 5 days have gone by with no new sprouts in that cross.>
Well, I certainly have some heavy shade and tree roots to challenge it, if that's what it takes to make it happy! ;-) 

<BTW, Linda - The tree roots my Sunny Disposition is growing in
are on the northeast side of a huge spruce.  No afternoon sun at all>
