I left them in the fridge for a couple of weeks to get spring weather timing lined up. I planted 2 in each peat pot of a 72 pot set and I now have a bumper crop of sprouts. I hope each and every one lives because I am going to plant them all. I have never really had any luck on stratifying seed but this worked well. Thanks for another valuable lesson.

I've been trying to brainstorm ideas in my head to come up with some bottom heating for my seeds. I am just too cheap to buy the commercial units, especially since I would need a bunch of them. This is perfect, and the ironic thing is my dad just picked up two perfectly good rope lights that where going to be disposed of. Probably too late for this year, but will definitely give it a try next year. rob.... Thank you, thank you, thank you…..

I grew all of my garden plants from seed this year. Set them all out last Saturday. Cool website BTW.

Some tree seeds require dormate refrigeration and strification. Remove pulp from seeds that have pulp, (magnolia) and others. Try air layering, or soil embedding, to propograte plants. Paper towels are the best medium to germinate seeds. Refrigeration does work; germination dependps upon the

I did it last year and every seed germinates. It takes a little extra trouble, but it is really worth it to get seeds to germinate. This really works! I did it last year and every seed germinates.
