Tim: If you aren't going to plant the Zehr 1061 I would really give a lot of thought to putting it in a container and freezing it. I believe this would be better than just letting it sit out somewhere. You might ask GBPunkin about this. My 1006 still shows no sign of life. This is the beginning of day 6. I think it will sprout today or tomorrow. The 1061 has fantastic growth so far. I am not certain what that means for later. If a seed germinates and grows vigorously in its first days, will it be productive of a biggie down the road? Probably only the Shadow knows. Any thoughts?
