| I get so excited when I receive seeds from a trade I like to rush out and plant them but I've learned I need to research them first.
Could someone tell me when and under what conditions I should plant these seeds? Full sun, part shade; moist soil or dry; spring or fall; rich soil or poor. Any information would be appreciated. |

| Soak seed in water for 12 hours then store at 40F for 4 weeks then lightly cover the seed soil temperature 65-70F for germination in about 21 days & an 10 weeks growing on time to ste out green. count back 13 weeks from time you wish to set out to determine sow date |

| Thirteen weeks, slow growing little darlings aren't they. But they look worth it to me. Thank you for the information I appreciate it. |

| Cool those directions seem much easier for me. I'm disabled and sometimes I can't make sense of things. Thank you so much for sharing the information. |
