Pacfarm,
I take it you are asking if you should soak your seeds before you plant
direct into the ground.........is this correct?? ...if it were me I would
soak them an hour or two then wet a rag squeese out till just damp roll the
seeds up and place in a ziplock place somewhere that is constantly warm
like in the 80s.....then check in 30 hours.......as the seed sprouts a root
stick them in the ground......I not sure what your plan is??? need more
info??? but if you have rare good seed you want have a little more control
of the germination conditions.......like in peat pots then
transplant.....but if your planting a field of AGS I would soak the seeds
first .....anything to speed the germination process would seem to benefit
a higher sucess rate...brock
