Seed Personality

It is so amazing that tiny seeds can grow into an infinite variety of plants.  And each has it's own personality.  Some are so small they look like dust.  Others are as big as a very large BB.  Round, long, flat, with wings, you name it.  And their tastes are as varied as ours.  Don't misunderstand - Yes, they are living things, but they are NOT living creatures - lol.  Anyway,  some, like panseys and lettuce like it cool - 40 to 60 degrees.  Tomatoes and peppers will sulk until it gets hot.  Some like a dry climate, while others like a sauna.  Then their is the issue of light.  Some need dark to germinate.  Others must be left on top of the dirt so they can get light to germinate.  Thank goodness for the internet.  I could never remember all these idiosyncrasies, let along remember where to find the info in a book.
