seeds  sprouting out there in
the wilds of Kentucky, when here on the warmer  coast, we don't.


Griff, this has surprised me this year. These are from the 2003/2nd  year 
pots.   The pots are usually out in the beds, but I wanted to  keep a close eye 
on them this year so I lined everything up near  the house.  This may account 
for the earlier sprouts.  Nothing has  sprouted from the 2004 pots, but they 
get less noon day sun due to the  angle of the sun and the car port.  
 
In recent years, sprouting has started about April 1.  At  Alvaton, when I 
had the chicken wire and mulch in place, I've had sprouts as  early as Feb. 25.  
 
In the garden, plants have grown an inch or two over night!  Hope we  don't 
get another hard freeze.
