Re: Has this mailing list died?

Yes, I had terrible problems this year with my Territorial squash seeds.
First batch had two sprouts out of seven planted, second batch (after I
complained to Territorial) had none whatsoever! First batch planted in
sterilized starter mix, inside, warm sunny window, heated room, second
batch outside (later) in peat pots. I have three Sweetmeat squash plants,
only one of which is thriving, and four Bottleneck gourd plants, out of a
total planting of about thirty seeds for both!
