Durgan, you variety is hard to get in the US. It's only sold by Nourse in quantities of 25. Most hybrids sold here are all male and at Rutgers Univ. in New Jersey. I'm curious if yours are all male (no seeds).

Uncle Don, I started Mary Washington from seed as soon as the seeds were put out on racks back in January. I used trays and transplanted into 2 inch pots. I wish I had used larger pots. They take off quickly and grow into a jungle. It seems like my germination was 150%.
Do you know what variety you have?
I'll take pics later in the week. I am still working on clearing a bed, other wise they are easily large enough to survive outside.
