Jannich, I NEVER had good luck with seeds until Pier told me about the way she starts hers. I tried this method and am REALLY seeing results for the first time!

She told me to use those jiffy peat pellets, pour BOILING water over them, ,let them absorb the water and then take the netting off them. Then mix with equal parts of the FINE vermiculite.

I REALLY like this mix, real light and fluffy, hardly needs water, no mold, ,no dampening off :) These are all areas I struggled with until I learned of this method.

Here is a picture of some sinningia seeds I started on 4/4.

Jannich, did you get my D-Mail about Rob's Collection? I never heard from you :(
