Thanks a bunch Carryl, this is just exactly the kind of info I was hoping
for.  I figured that the seeds ought to be able to tolerate full sun, And I
even anticipated the fact that they'd prefer extra water...but perhaps I
didn't keep them wet enough after all?  Well, now I know next time that
it'll be better to give them too much water, than too little.

Thanks again!
