Mark I can not tell you how many times I heard Alaskans say they have never been so cold in there life until they went through a Texas winter.
I would leave 30 below come home and freeze my tail off at 30 above.
People would ask me about this.
I told them 30 below doesn't feel cold it is almost like being in a fire.
I know you know what I mean.

Even a good 24 hour soaking without sprouting works great.
My logic behind this is seeds sprout at certain temperature.
Once they have sprouted then it is game on for them to grow.
As for the comment many people make about okra loving heat.
I tend to disagree a wee bit.
It ((tolerates)) heat but loves the mid temperatures around 75 degrees like any other plant.
My seeds are going in the ground either today or tomorrow regardless if they have germinated or not.
I bet that they will be germinating this afternoon or tonight.
I bought them last year.
