  5. that would be my choice but was wondering if some place sold them already to go.
    for the life of me i cant remeber that huge seed store up north ,it was a co op base store i believe.
    i have used urban farmer,bonnies,hoss tool,jhonny seeds
    urban farmer,germ rate is around 1 seed to 10 coming up,really old stock i guess
    bonnies,got so big customer service ,well there just aint none
    hoss tools has great seeds great germ inoculate most of there seeds,but high freaking dollar
    jhonny seed right there with urban farmer,old stock hardly any germ rate ,even with extra care the germ rate is bad.
    hoss has been my source for 2 years now,but damn the seed prices are threw the roof
    i cant even remeber who it was told me of a place in michagan i think or maine not sure,at 60 you have a lot of brain farts hahaha

  12. I’ll double check to be sure but I think they require a chill time like these peach trees.

    I also started 2 more Jalapeno and 1 Reaper pepper along with 3 Lavender and 3 Sage seeds. Still nothing on the Mint.

  13. My extension says 700-800 chill hrs per year and takes several years to fruit. They also must be mixed males and females, that’s why I’m trying several.

  19. I’ve got a new Earthbox that I’m going to start today with something. I’ve got Crimson Sweet Watermelon but when they get big I would be watering them all day. I’ll probably do a Sug Baby or Cantaloupe.
