THANK YOU!!!

Now that I know my seed stash is still good, do YOU need anything? I have a few to offer, lol.

I am so happy for you and your sprouts. I go thru panic every season...my kids laugh at my hysterical tears and constantly remind me that every year there is some disaster, and every year I get a good harvest. But I was definitely feeling your pain and gearing up to get some seeds out to you if needed. Ahhh tragedy averted is a lovely thing. :-D

Yeah, 8 hrs after my post with about 34% sprouted! lol.

Now I'm up to 60%! Well, nearly 100% for the varieties that have sprouted, with several still at 0% that are keeping the % low.

My NEW dilemma??? My germination tests have started to sprout!!! Yikes! I'll definitely be sharing plants this year! I was REALLY not expecting the non-tomatoes to sprout so quickly!!!

Whenever I've had trouble with germination, which isn't often, most of the time I either forgot to plug in the heat mat, or the medium is too dry and there isn't enough moisture to germinate the seed. Not saying that is what has happened, but it could be something fairly simple that is easy to resolve

. Hope they pop up soon!
