I am sorry about your tragedy! The seeds I got from you have sprouted already!!! I used the sponge squares, soaked in 1:10 bleach solution, and put on a heat source. They took just THREE DAYS to sprout. Thank you SO MUCH!

Okay guys.. here's the culprit.... one of them.. see how big he WAS.. lol.


Kay, so happy to hear about the seeds sprouting. I sowed alot of mine today, soaked them and got them into soil.

After the fires here in CA, they came down from the Mt.s and hills. yuck. I had never seen one before, this is like the 7th one we have caught.. They are very intelligent RATS..
