Re: Philo seed advice needed.

From: SNALICE at aol.com on 1997.03.14 at 00:49:28(495) Thank you Edwardo, I will write these down and study the possibilities. If I decide not to plant all of the seed I get from the order this year, for how long are the seeds viable? Can they last until next winter so I can start some earlier to allow for the hardening period before going outside? Aslo, I have a 9' by 15' plastic covered greenhouse (lower half is 2" redwood and the upper half is poly pipes arranged quansit style over the top with white plastic covering). I have no heating system, but I do have a misting system installed, and electricity. In a short while, I should be able to start seed inside, but as far as winter goes, when the temp. drops outside, it also drops inside. The only protection it would really provide would be from frost. It wouldn't help a bit when it comes to freezing (which we don't get much). Is there some way I can utilize the greenhouse for the Philos? In summer, it would be very warm and humid, but winters are another thing. Do you think the rustic species would survive in there? Thank you. Sue Zunino
