Hi Gary,
I made two batches with the seed Clark generously gave out.
The first was sown and placed under lights where the temps
do not get above 70~F. much. I got 89 to germinate from 96.
Several, about 10, have died since. The second batch was
sown like the first on a mostly peat moss and some diatomatious (sp?)
earth. It was then stratified for 8 weeks at around 40~F.
I didn't count the sprouts in the second batch but I got very
similar results. However, #2 plants seem to by growing
quicker a more robust than the first batch. I also saw
fewer dead plants in batch #2.
