Joe,
	Find my email from a few days ago, and use that procedure..The soil I
refer to is also called professional starter mix.. No transpanting until
it goes to the garden withthis method.. I started 4 seeds, the 977 and
815 from Chris, along with the 897 and 649 of Joel Holland. They
started, grew and greened right in the same peat pot.(1/2 gallon)
