Seed Germination

Gene & Nancy,

Fine Gardening magazine August 2001 Issue 80 p.38  had THE best article titled 'Starting Wildflowers from Seed' written by William Cullina, manager and propagator at the New England Wild Flower Society.  It included great photos and a chart of 40 different plants' requirements.

The article was SO good that I saved it and kept it handy - thus the reason I was able to put my hand on the above information!  I've used it and have managed to have real success with more than one plant following his instructions.

As to deer - I was surprised to read that they've been eating your hydrangeas.  Here, they bypass those and first eat the tops of the blueberry bush and then head for the Solomon Seal, eating every stalk to within a foot of the ground.  Yes, I know, they may take a dietary detour just because I mentioned it!
