erg. half the patch already gone. so after 7 days of waiting and wondering...are they doing anything in there...i took some drastic measures. i pulled the seeds out of the pots if they weren't sprouted. 7 out of 8! I carefully clipped the shells off and put them in warm moist paper towels on the heat mat. after about six hours i checked on them and they were dry as a bone! ack! add water to the paper towels and cover them with plastic wrap. Next day rejoice! it looks like a root is growing out of 1 of 7. After 3 days roots look good enough on this one to put back in the dirt. In all I have 4 out of 8 sprouted in the dirt, the rest rotted. So now I have 2 old 2006 Dill's from the store, and 2 1134 Hortons. Both the 1095 Pappas rotted and 2 of the store bought Dills. Now, hopefully I can keep the 4 in the dirt a long enough to put em outside. hmmm...anyone got any space seeds?
