My seedlings usually aren't yet up in Feb.  Sprouting usually starts in
March and continues into the early part of May.  I'm planting now, later
than usual but the cool weather is also later so maybe it won't matter.  Do
you plant in fall in order to have seedlings up by February or are you doing
something different than I'm doing?  I did plant 6 pods as green seeds this
spring and left them in the refrigerator 'til about two weeks ago.  There
are now 6 seedlings out of two pods, 3 from each pod.  With those that
sprouted in the fall left over from last spring, I have over 30 seedlings to
handle this winter.  That will be something new for me to attempt.
