Thanks Barb, and Tim. My helper loves playing in the dirt. With spring and summer coming early in Florida the germination this year has been above normal. I believe we are doing around 40%.

Erik,
How many weeks until seeds germinated?

Typically it takes 3 to 6 months. When the first wave of seedlings come we pull them all and replant all the remaining seeds that have not germinated. Then the seeds usually go dormant during the winter as we turn off our heated beds. Then we get a second wave the next spring. We continue this process up to 3 years out.
