Hey Robert,
I started some Texas Grano 1015Y seeds back in September outside in self watering trays. I forgot about them all Winter until a few weeks ago when I saw about 10 of them had actually germinated. Transplanted them Jan 21 into an EarthTainer and they survived:
No special treatment other than some fertilizer.
Looks like Spring is upon us early with all the rain:
Have started some Granex 33 (Vidalia) in a tray to see what they will do.
