Re: starting seeds & Wright intro's

Hey Will,

You'll surely gain a year by doing the burrito treatment.  MY 
seedlings grew under Grolux bulbs for a few months before they were 
moved outside and are absolutely HUGE compared to the seeds that 
germinated naturally outdoors.  I was astounded by what a phenomenal 
head start this gave 75 of my first seedlings from the burrito.   I'm 
still not getting anywhere near 90% germination from  my efforts but 
it was quite good this year.  The seeds that don't germinate in the 
fridge get potted where they'll pretty much sprout when they're ready.

It's work intensive and the keeping the cats out has been a real 
challenge but I found a plastic type wrap material with many holes in 
it that's used to wrap cedar hedges to wrap around the entire setup 
and only had one incident where Fluff managed to wrastle an Iris out 
of there.

Bummer you didn't get any of the Wright  intros  you wanted.  I would 
have been very disappointed.  How was the quality from Riverview this 
year ?  I decided not to order this year so I could complete the 
major garden clean up/ renovation that I started because of those 
meddling borers.   I fully expect to order from there next year when 
I'm more at ease with the challenges I''ve faced this year.

By they way, I think I started the burrito experiment last year in 
October, earlier would be even better.  

Good luck,
Chris
