I lost count somewhere after 500. I tossed most of the light colored ones. I made a real bonehead mistake. I didn't think about water being in the seeds and when I opened the container, could see and smell a faint onset of mold on some seeds. I tossed those and put the ones that looked okay in a large bowl to dry out for a few days. Hopefully some will still germinate. Oh well, that's how to learn I guess...
