Name: Michele Roth N.E. Indiana - Zone 5b, and F (Zone 9b) I'm always on my way out the door..
My seed packet says to germinate @15-20 degrees Celsius.
I'll start a batch this way, too, but my first is getting a different treatment. I sowed the first batch just above room temperature for one week, then put the container on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. I plan to take it back to room temperature about a week from now.
