Comfrey, I truly think that what you said, above, is the key to the whole thing: {Cover with plastic or place in a plastic bag and place in the warmest place in the house. I think heat and barely covering the seed is the key.) That is what helped mine to finally sprout when they were lagging behind! So, Kenny, and every one else who is going to start over...pay attention to comfry..

I don't think I have super seeds, In fact some of you have the same seeds I have, mine had Melcon on the packet and I think several others said theirs were also from her. But I do think the fact that I have mine under lights has made a difference:

Yours look good Mark...a few of the stems look a little thin...which means they need a bit more light or closer to the light. If you look at the last picture I posted, you will see I have my plants very close to the lights..which will make sturdy stems and apparently the leaves like it also. I just hope that mine do not out grow my lights/shelf before it gets warm weather, so I can put them outside. I doubt that mine will have eggs by Easter though, but you never know...at least I should be able to get seeds to share for next season.

Thanks for the info Comfrey.. I will try to get them closer to the light Right now they are on a dresser, with the plant light aimed at them from 6 inches or so away... I'm going to try to find a way to get the light above them...
