I share all the same emotions about them, and just try to stop myself -- but sometimes I cannot, either! See you soon. Good for you, Emma.

I have many loves, like shoes, nail varnish, underwear, but seeds are just a different level of love and obsession. This year I have reached the grand total of 23 different tomatoe varieties......I just know it will grow next year......I dispair of myself and love it so much all at the same time.

I suspect in regards to germinating seed, it means a finely milled spaghnum or peat moss -- in other words, a very fine-textured seed germination mix, NOT regular potting soil that has relatively big pieces of bark or perlite or vermiculite in it.
