Two more things I wanted too ad:

I "dug up" the other girl... her tap root was't event attached to the seed! And had not even grown at all from when she went into the soil. Was wondering if you can pick out any fault from that?

Also, can I "re-use" the soil from the failed attempt?

edit: just read you're post I'll comment more when I get back (just leaving right now)... Good info though, hopefully my second try will go better.

Peace.
