Thanks Peter, I appreciate your response; I really thought it was heading for the trash bin, which of course wasn't going to make my day! It *is *in the ground, so it could be too warm-but short of putting ice cubes around it, I don't know what I can do about that. If it was virused, however, are the seeds necessarily virused too? Thanks again, Dee Foster Newport Beach, Ca where, sadly, we did not get an appreciable amount of rain last night.
