I planted a few in flats a few days ago, the rest will be direct sown in the garden. Some years I have a difficult time getting reliable germination but then again I tend to start too early. I can't wait to make sour pickles. I keep a glass cookie-jar type container on the counter filled with sour pickles and add to it as I go. They are so sour that only I will eat them but I look forward to them each year. They will bring out beads of sweat, LOL. This year I hope to try the whole fermentation process so we will see. I need to can some more sweet relish too.
