Donna Hull (verified owner) –
3rd year trying to grow from this seed after years of getting 3 plug trays from Ball for years before we retired from our full time jobs and mostly hobby farming and moved north. Great success in zone 6 with plugs but total fail with seeds as anticipated since moving. I remember Armitage quote “only masochist try growing from seed”. I’m optimistic that I’ll get at least a few from the 25 seeds I started in soil blocks , 3 tiny ones showing after 14 days. Your blogs have been very helpful. Hope to plant out mid May in 5a. It’s mostly about the challenge at age 75. We love making people smile when presented with flowers, even strangers.
