CULT: patience with seeds! :)

From: dkramb@tso.cin.ix.net (Dennis Kramb)

Well, I'm a fool.  I've heard people say time and again to be patient, but
I didn't listen.  After about 3 months of waiting for setosa, graminea, and
lactea seeds to germinate, I got frustrated and assumed nothing was going
to happen.  So I planted other flower seeds in the same large pots
(marigolds, etc).

Now that these other flowers are approaching maturity, I noticed what I
thought was grass growing in the flower pots too.  WRONG!  It's the %!*&#
setosas, gramineas, and lacteas!  Can you believe it?  Of course you can.

The sad thing is, I no longer recall which species seeds were planted in
which pots.  So it will be a year or so until I learn which are the
setosas, which are the gramineas, and which are the lacteas.

Now quit laughing at me!  (Like *you* haven't done this before too.)
