thanks

I didn't keep records on germination times, but I didn't notice any shorter times for the types of seeds that I planted so far. That's not to say that some types of seed may germinate faster—we'll see.
I planted some lettuce seed that I harvested in 2010 to test germination about a week ago and they sprouted in 3 days which is typical for lettuce.
