Hi there Jane, Rather than germinating them as >David apparently does, in moist paper towels or some such, I think it's >better to plant them in a seed pot right away, because, as he says, the >seedling stems are quite fragile. I should clarify that, I follow Norm Deno's general rules, but instead of using his paper towels, I put the seeds into a plastic bag containing damp perlite. I find that with the towels, seeds tend to root into the paper, whereas with the perlite there is no problem, it just sticks to the roots. Best regards, David Victor
