*Seed removed from baggies, cleaned and stored - essentially to provide more room for growing plants - 4/25/02
Remaining 134 seeds included non-germinated seed originally sown in soil and poor looking seed in baggies, all which
were discarded. We lost very few plants from tranplanting - less than ten. However, many plants that were not
increased from original 2 oz. container size due to lack of growing area were also lost. We also did not do too well with
Adventure (I did not pre-treat the seed.)
