Didn’t germinate, I expect it was my fault, I have had trouble before. Used winter sowing technique.
I really appreciate your feedback, Stephen. I winter-sowed on December 31 and had the first seedlings germinate on April 10. It looks like you probably sowed in mid-January, which is pretty close to the same time, so that technique should have worked for you, but well, stuff happens (or doesn’t happen). I expect to harvest this year’s seeds in July and will send you a new packet so you can try again, or I’d be happy to give you a refund if you’d rather.
