Growing from Seed-PBS TOW

Some rules I use

Woodland seed will be covered by leaf fall.

Seed from open habitats may not.

If the seed is held on the stalk until the next germination season (for
example with many Compositae) it is less likely to be covered.

Seed with arils, fleshy appendages containing starch or sugar, may be
transported underground by ants.

Tiny seeds seem to appear more often in propagation guides as requiring
light.

Look in Norman Deno's guides or online at
http//http://users.anet.com/~manytimes/page52.htm

If I have no clue and sufficient seed, some gets covered well, then topped
with the remaining seeds. If I am ambitious that day, they'll be in separate
pots with notes made.

Most seeds don't care about light.
