hey guys,
well, i finally started dabbing some pollen a couple of bloom seasons ago. i stored the seeds from 2010 and 2011 in the refrigerator with a bunch of those moisture absorbing packets. i was basically afraid i was going to screw them up after all the work of making them! anyway, a little over 2 weeks ago i finally got most of them planted. i made a small hoop tunnel, covered with plastic and have been keeping them moist, not overly wet. the temps here have been very mild, so the day temps in the tunnel are at least 70, going up to over 120! of course, i open the plastic if it gets that hot!

well, as of today, not a SINGLE seed has come up! i am getting a bit panicky! i did see a few seeds that had somehow gotten back to the surface (may never have been put in correctly) and they seemed fine. nice, shiny, plump, but no germination.

please share any info or insights! thanks
