George,
you must have different soil then. In the sand here they dry out unless
watered each morning and afternoon. Once the seedlings are established they
do alright, but not in the germination stages. Even with highly amended soil
it is mostly sand and very dry. They just never survived into that first set
of true leaves for me, if they came up at all. We were lucky if one in ten
came up.
