Cecilia,
Those seed arn't tricky. The batch I gave you was definitley bad. It's hard to say how it happens. Perhaps an extended fermentation?
Anyway I have tons of seeds now and they are comming up like crazy just like they should. If you like I could mail you some in a jiffy.
I have had trouble with TGS once before. Being a seller they should do germination tests. It could also be the mailing process. When I dissed TGS on the other forum Carolyn gave me the whatfor!
She says they have a very good rep and I believe she sends them new varieties to try. I wouldn't give up on them but Johnny's is very reliable. TGS has more selection though.
Anyway, if you would like seed I could send some tommorow.
Greg
