Mike,
I've said that before, I feel that if the seeds dry out, then it
is like starting the process over. I keep them damp after planting
November 1st, until they sprout 8-12 weeks later. Then I back off a
little
on the water so I don't get damp-off on the new plants.
From the pictures of the seedling pots, you're doing something right.
Fantastic growth and it would be no sweat for them to bloom the next
spring.
