====================================================
Claudia,
I will second Mike' note. The soil temps in CA have been bouncing between a
low of 42F and high of 62F. Way to cold to be germinating using the direct
start method. I have some 815 seeds Ciliberto 697X Greer 1006 left and a few
634 seed 449 Marcellus X 1006 Greer. Their not in the best of shape but do
germinate just fine. If you would like a few let me know and I will put them
in the mail to you.
Best of Luck
Chris Andersen
