Claudia,
Direct can be brutal if the soil is cool.......also it is a good idea to
activate them first...in a damp I mean just barely damp, in a Ziplock and
in a warm spot.......once the seed is started plop into the ground ..for
really valuable seed you want to have more control............if you need
more seed send me your address....as they could get there in a
day.........there is still time 120-130 days before HMB .....brock
