And - once again, I've found that the supposedly low germination Burpee's Golden Beet germinated just fine if you plant them indoors and transplant to the garden later on. The low germination seems to happen if you direct seed into cool soil

Interesting you would find this outcome, I planted my Kentucky wonder pole beans without soaking in a peat pellet, outdoors and everyone of them came up and much stronger than what I tried last year. Last year I soaked them prior to direct seeding and everyone of them died quickly. I have planted all of the seedlings from the peat pellets this year and only one looks like it won't make it and I think this is because it never seemed to develop any first leaves on it.
P.S. I was laughed at because I had not direct sewn the beans, lol. Now who's laughing, he he....
