List:
I also would like to hear from other members on the list that uses
this method. I tried it this year and to date have one seed that was smashed
when I recieved it sprout. My two biggest have yet to show their snout. I don't
want to lose these & a little afraid to try any more good seed. Broken seed
sprouted in 40 hrs and other two now have 72 hrs in zip bag without results.
Please comment.
