Still experimenting with the seedlings.  Three weeks ago, I planted several
seeds in little pots, a few have come up.  But more seem to be sprouting.
After a week in the damp paper towels and ziplocks, wrapped in a dark towel,
sitting on top of my tv cable box (the only place that's warm in soggy So.
Cal.) a bunch have sprouted tails about an inch or so long.  This morning I
planted those with the longer tails.  Hope I didn't kill the little guys.
Will keep an eye on them and let you know what happens.

The seedlings that did come up in the little pots look healthy at this
point.  I would imagine they'll be ready to go outside in about a month, if
el nino will just go back to where he came from.
