Im experimenting a bit with the seeds that were set on the seedlings that bloomed indoors this fall, hoping to get some of them to germinate this spring yet.  I tied them up in a nylon and soaked them for 3 weeks outside in the garage.  I wasnt too sure that I wouldnt forget them out there, so I ran a fish tank bubbler in the bowl they were in to keep the water oxygenated.   I potted up a little over 250 seeds and threw them outside today.  Despite the fact that I have decided its spring (ha) they will get at least 4-6 weeks of cold nights.  Probably not long enough, but well see.

More than 300,000 seals could be killed in Canada this year - most of 
them babies. Tell Canada's Prime Minister to stop the hunt now!
