Re: Seismic Activity is pumpkin related.

G'day John,
Hope those seeds of yours grow I would have thought the ground was a little
cold yet. Have you got a cold frame?
I found the two seeds I tried in Glad bags were a bit dry after two days so
I made the handtowel damper and it worked fine. In two days both had
sprouted so I transferred them to 2 inch jiffy pots.
Now I have put in a Zehr 798 and Bobier 796.5 so we are off and running.
