Re: Lupines

Hi Barbara,
	No, I havn't used peat pellets.  I'm very new to seed growing ( this is 
my second year).  Last year I tried all sorts of soil concoctions.  Sand 
vermiculite, turface all mixed in varying amounts and dutifuly kept notes that 
in the end really had little meaning to me since I had nothing against which to 
compare my results.  This year I decided to grow everything in a commercial peat 
perlite mix, note my results to get a baseline against which to compare, and 
tweak my soil mixes next year.
	As far as the begonias go, don't soak them in water next year, just 
dampen the peat moss before storage, then check them every couple of weeks to 
make sure they're not getting moldy.  I meant for you to try soaking the dried 
and shriveled ones now to try and get some water back in them.
