So, I started this thread about 10 days ago...and I admit...I scrapped my last attempt at germination. I think I kept the temperature toooooo hot. This time around I did it by soaking the seeds in water. Today I decided to gently push aside the dirt to see how one of my seeds were doing. This way I'd know if the seeds were duds, or if it had been user error...and much to my excitement....there was a corkscrew shaped root tip digging it's way into the dirt, and the shell was comepletely split on one side. So... that bodes well for my other seeds as well. I'll post pics when they break the surface. I'm thinking it should be in the next few days. Wish me luck guys!!!!
