IIRC rule of thumb is       twice as deep as the size of the seed , those are so tiny you might try       just a very light dusting to barely cover them . I tried onions from       seed one time , now I buy the bulbs or seedlings .              --        Snag       Yes , I'm old       and crochety - and armed .       Get outta my woods !              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
