Re: CULT: seedlings

 Haven't  you have had drastic temperature variation this spring, Donald?  I've had reports from our son in Dallas, hot one week, then snow, then hot again.  Our temperature swings haven't been that drastic, but they have been enough that I believe it's affecting the germination which is slower than it has been the past two years.

  I'm going to give up trying to figure out what makes these sprout and grow.
  Of prox 130 pots each with a pod, I had one pot sprout two weeks ago.  That
  pot now has ten seedlings and cracks indicating more seedlings on the way.
  There is another pot of the same cross.  Nada...nor in any other pot...not a
  hint!  All with the same potting mix, all watered about the same and in
  three main groups of pots (for armadillo protection).  So for two weeks one
  pot has been sprouting happily and the rest continue to sleep.  You'd think
  at least one or two of the others would have sprouted at least a seed or
  two.
