re: HYB: seed: soaking

Betty  --  See responses below:


I'm always interested in the threads about soaking seed.  There seem  to be
many different methods.

1) What is your zone? 7

2)  How long do you soak the seed?  (seems to vary)  5 days

3)  When do you soak the seed with reference to planting time? (just
before/three months before etc.)  just before

4) When do you plant?  Fall?  Mid-Winter?  Early October

5)  Where do you plant the seed?  (greenhouse, pots, ground  etc.)  pots

6)  What is your germination rate using your method?  Varies annually  --  43%
to 68% is about the span for overall germination.  Some individual lots almost
100%, some 0 - 5%.
